The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) is an independent, non-profit membership organization that develops open extensions to the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). For further information, see <https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation>. defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the XMPP Intermediate IM Server 2008 certification level.

The XMPP Intermediate IM Server 2008 certification level is defined as follows:

Specification Requirement Level
XMPP Basic Server 2008 (XEP-0212) XEP-0212: XMPP Basic Server 2008 <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0212.html>. REQUIRED
Privacy Lists (XEP-0016) XEP-0016: Privacy Lists <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0016.html>. REQUIRED
Multi-User Chat (XEP-0045) XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html>. REQUIRED
vcard-temp (XEP-0054) XEP-0054: vcard-temp <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0054.html>. REQUIRED
Personal Eventing Protocol (XEP-0163) XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html>. RECOMMENDED

Some of the protocol specifications referenced herein have their own dependencies; developers must refer to the relevant specifications for further information.

It is an implementation decision how to enable support for multi-user chat, e.g., directly or by means of an external component (see Jabber Component Protocol (XEP-0114) XEP-0114: Jabber Component Protocol <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0114.html>.).

This document introduces no additional security considerations above and beyond those defined in the documents on which it depends.
