SIF (NA) 2.8 is designed to create a smoother path forward for users of SIF 2 to take advantage of the SIF 3 infrastructure. Elements specific to the SIF 2 infrastructure have been removed.

Certification and Compliance Claims
Though a product may be demonstrated to comply with a SIF Specification, no product may be designated as SIF Certified™ by an organization or individual until the product has been tested against and passed established compliance criteria, published separately on the SIF Certification website. Organizations and individuals that are currently paying annual membership dues to the A4L Community and dedicating resources to the initiative may also use the designation SIF Participant to describe their involvement with the A4L Community and SIF in marketing, public relations and other materials.
