If you are a service provider, PBX developer or maker of a SIPconnect compliant product or service, and you are interested in the SIPconnect Compliant Certification Program, this page provides the information you need.

The SIPconnect Compliant Certification Program is a vehicle through which eligible companies can license the use of the SIP Forum's 'SIPconnect Compliant' certification mark.  A certification mark is a special kind of mark that asserts a product or service's compliance with a registered standard. 

The SIPconnect Compliant mark is the official brand of the leading standard for SIP Trunking products and services.

When a user sees our mark, they know they have the best chance of interoperability and broad feature support expected from a SIP Trunking product or service. 

According to the SIPconnect Compliant License Agreement, a SIPconnect Compliant product or service is one that is 100% compliant with all mandatory requirements of the SIPconnect Technical Recommendation. 

Given our current state of implementation, the SIPconnect Certification Committee is allowing a few exceptions to this requirement, although such exceptions will narrow over time.  For a view of which aspects of the standard have the broadest support in current products, please view the consolidated results  from our SIPconnect Compliance Survey.

The license fee to join the SIPconnect Compliant licensing program is $2,500US for SIP Forum members.  For non-members it's $5,000US for companies with less than $100M in annual revenue and $10,000US for companies above this threshold. 

As a convenience to our full members, you can participate in the program until your next SIP Forum's dues renewal at no charge.  Licensees will simply have the annual SIPconnect charge added to future renewal invoices.

The Steps to Apply are as Follows:

1. Complete and submit  the SIPconnect Compliant Application

2. Complete the SIPconnect Compliance Survey for each product you plan to list as SIPconnect Compliant

3. Sign and Submit the SIPconnect License Agreement

Certification Committee members will review applications and return a response form to the applicant with one of the following choices: approved, approval contingent upon confirmation of eligibility, or not approved. Certification Committee members will be given a period of two weeks to return response forms.
