IPv6 Ready Logo Phase-1
- About the use of the Logo -

1. Basics

Your product must pass the "all (100%)" of test items!!

In a first stage, the Logo will indicate that the product includes IPv6 mandatory core protocols and can interoperate with other IPv6 equipment.
Upon application by a vendor, IPv6 Logo Committee carries out the assessment based on the documents submitted. A successful product will be given permissions to use IPv6 Ready Logo for the particular version of the particular product to show its recognition status. It is up to the vendors to choose which product(s) to apply for the Logo recognition.

2. Products that can get a Logo

We can approve the use of the Logo on the following products.

(1) Software/Hardware Version Up

Each version of a recognized product will be assessed individually by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee for a Logo. This assessment is regardless of the magnitude of the change between product versions. It is up to the applicant to submit an application for the assessment of new versions. An applicant is not permitted to carry the Logo on a new product version if the documents for that version are not submitted and recognized by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee.
If an applicant wants a later version to be recognized, the applicant must re-submit the application with updated product version information. If the new product version changes the IPv6 stack and/or the IPv6 network interface, the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee requires an applicant run and re-submit both conformance and interoperability tests. If there are no changes to the IPv6 stack and the IPv6 network interface, the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee recommends an applicant run and re-submit both conformance and interoperability tests. The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee may retest products that have obtained the logo in questionable cases.

(2) Product series

Even if a product series, (for example, routers) are equipped with the same software, they are to be assessed individually. The exception to this rule is a series of products that contain identical software and hardware. A product series of this nature will be accepted for application with one application, on condition that the identical nature of the product line is clearly stated in the application form.

(3) Products with different names

There are cases in which a the names of the same product vary between domestic and international markets. In these cases, vendors may inform the committee of the fact at the application or after the recognition, and the use of the Logo on the products of different names will be permitted.

(4) OEM products

Even if the original product of an OEM product already recognized as IPv6 ready, each new OEM product must be assessed individually. However, vendors may use the same documents submitted for the original product when applying in regard to the OEM products. This assumes there were no software or hardware changes to the OEM product's protocol stack.

(5) On the shelf product

If a product is sold by a party other than its vendor, it still is eligible for the assessment. The party who sells the product can, with the signed consent of the vendor, apply for the assessment. If the vendor has already obtained the recognition for the product, then the Logo may be attached to the products for purchase.
