Certification and Guidelines

The design guidelines are our blueprint for the new digital home. Our member companies are using them to drive the growing marketplace of networked devices to greater innovation and increased value for consumers.

DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines

The DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines specify the interoperable building blocks that are available to build platforms and software infrastructure. These guidelines focus on interoperability between networked entertainment and media devices for personal media uses that involve images, audio and video. As new technology and standards become available, the guidelines may broaden to cover other areas.

DLNA Certification and Logo Program

In September 2005, DLNA launched the Certification and Logo Program to validate interoperability between devices designed to be compliant with the DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines. When a DLNA member company’s product passes certification testing, a licensing agreement may be signed issuing the DLNA CERTIFIED™ logo to the qualified product, enabling consumers to identify it as DLNA compliant. DLNA CERTIFIED products enable connectivity and multimedia content sharing between CE, PC and mobile devices.
