UPnP Certification
How To Certify A UPnP Device
- Gain UPnP Certification rights by doing one of the following:
- Become an OCF Member, and pay the applicable annual membership fee (e.g. $2,000 USD for Gold Membership), and sign the UPnP Certification Testing and Licensing Agreement.
- Become a Non-Member Licensee by signing the UPnP Certification Testing and Licensing Agreement, Application Form, and paying the $5,000 USD annual fee.
- Access the certification test tool via the UPnP Certification Site.
- Run the test tool at your own facility or at a 3rd party test house.
- Submit the test logs, along with Web-based device registration form, to the Test Reviewer.
Note: Your company must submit a device registration form for each device. Visit the UPnP Certification Site for additional information. - Once you have submitted the test logs and device registration forms, the Test Reviewer reviews the test logs and contacts you with testing results.
Note: The review may require up to five (5) working days; however, two working days is our goal. - If the device passes, your company receives a certificate of conformity for that particular device. The certificate authorizes your company to use the certification mark on the certified device and in associated marketing material, according to the Implementer Membership Addendum and the Logo Usage Guidelines document and FAQ, which are accessible via the UPnP Certification Site.
If the device fails, your company is notified of the failure and reason, no certificate is issued, and your company may not market the device as UPnP-certified. Your company is welcome to alter the device and retest.

UPnP+ Certification
Read about the UPnP+ initiative here. Note that the UPnP+ certification process follows the same certification process as standard UPnP products.
The goal of UPnP+-certified products is to certify a more reliable, secure, and diverse family of products. Benefits included in UPnP+ certification include:
- Interoperability
- Security
- Evolving standards (e.g., HTML5, IPv6)
- Cloud-based features
- New services
In support of this effort, OCF has updated the UPnP Certification Test Tool (UCTT) for enhanced testing and expanded its testing program to improve the quality of open source implementations.
The following are the requirements for UPnP+ certification compared to UPnP certification for all UPnP certified devices.
