While the Access 4 Learning (A4L) Community continues to further the SIF Specifications (referenced here) its focus has shifted to empower data usage not just data management. To this end A4L is working to up its quality game, not just with better specifications and more meaningful certifications, but with better documentation. Our hope is that we can: empower the programmers to better understand what is being ask of them, give the integrator tools to more readily deliver working solutions, and give the end user the best possible start to communicate requirements.

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.
