INDUSTRY STANDARDS — FOR THE COMMON GOOD

Industry vendors largely have shifted from talking about JDF support, as such, to instead promoting the workflow integration and efficiency its use enables. The pendulum may swing back, though, as PIA/GATF ramps up the JDF Product Certification Program at its facility in Sewickley, PA.

Any products—equipment or software—submitted for testing that receive a passing grade will have the right to bear a “JDF Certified” logo. This logo can be used on packaging and in promotional materials to indicate that a product has been certified as meeting formally established guidelines for interoperability.
