This part of IEC 62481 specifies DLNA guidelines for DRM interoperability.

The set of guidelines in this part of IEC 62481 are based on DLNA DRM Interoperability Solutions (DIS), which are defined as methods to enable the secure transfer and use of protected commercial content among different implementations on network media devices. This content could be protected by different content protection technologies. In this standard they are referred to as DRMs.

The guidelines are not intended to replace or disable other interoperability mechanisms that could already be in place, e.g. DLNA Link Protection guidelines stated in IEC 62481‑3 or mechanisms provided by underlying DRMs.
