Hip Clearance questions

I was wondering what all the different types of hip clearances were? I know there is OFA and PennHIP, but are there any other acceptable ones? I have seen BVA, OVC and FCI as well on k9data, but haven't heard of them elsewhere. Are these acceptable clearances? Also the only one I can find with a database is OFA, do any of the others have public databases? THANKS, Golden:)

I'm not sure what you are trying to ask here, but OFA is more commonly used in the US. PennHIP is used somewhat, but mainly for hips. OFA's database posts the clearances done on dogs that have passed the eye,heart, hip, and elbow. They also include DNA bank information. They do thyroid as well, but thyroid is a useless test in my opinion.
