About “Work With Alexa”(WWA)
 
"Work With Alexa" (WWA) is a certification program by Amazon that ensures smart
home devices are compatible with Alexa. When a product receives this certification,
it can display the WWA badge on its packaging and Amazon product page, which
helps customers trust that the product will integrate seamlessly with Alexa.

How To Certify?

To certify, products must meet specific requirements and pass rigorous testing by
an Amazon ATL (Authourized Test Lab). This includes ensuring the product works
reliably with Alexa through smart home skills, the Alexa Connect Kit (ACK), or local
control hubs.

The "Work With Alexa" (WWA) certification process involves several steps to ensure
that smart home devices are fully compatible with Alexa. Here's a brief overview:


Review Guidelines
Manufacturers must first review the WWA Program Guidelines to ensure their product
meets the eligibility and product requirements.

Prepare for Testing
The product must be tested to meet the stringent requirements for WWA certification.
Submit for Certification
Manufacturers submit it for certification through the Alexa Certification Console.
Testing
ATL conducts comprehensive tests to verify the product's compatibility with Alexa.
Request the Badge
If passed, the manufacturer can request the WWA badge for their product.
Ongoing Compliance
Amazon conducts continual audits of certified products to ensure they maintain high
standards. Products may need to be recertified if there are s or new features introduced.
