Safety Certification

Safety product certification supports the protection of people across workplaces, public environments, transport systems, and consumer applications.
Products covered under safety standards are often relied upon to prevent injury, manage risk, or protect vulnerable users, making independent third-party certification critical.

Our JAS-ANZ accredited CMI Product Certification Scheme is classed as a Type 5 certification scheme.

This Certification Scheme is our most flexible scheme, covering Australia, New Zealand and many other countries around the globe. Our CMI ProdCert Scheme evaluates products against the requirements of ISO/IEC 17065 and the specific standard(s) such as AS/NZS, AS, NZS, NFPA, ASTM and ISO.

The ISO/IEC 17065 process evaluates products or compliance to national or international standard, based on the supply of test reports from recognised testing laboratorys such as, NATA, IANZ or ILAC approved laboratories and testing facilities, manufacturing site audits, technical documentation, Product Quality Plan (PQP) and on-going annual audits.

Types Of Safety Products We Certify

Our Safety certification scope covers a wide range of consumer, workplace, and industrial products. Examples include:

Workplace & Industrial Safety

Products designed to protect people in industrial and high-risk environments.

Examples include fall-arrest systems, ladders, slings, rope access equipment.

Children & Infant Products

Safety-critical products intended for babies and young children.

Examples include cots, prams, strollers, dummies, toys.

Vehicle & Transport Safety

Products associated with occupant protection and vehicle use.

Examples include seat belts, child restraints, cargo barriers, vehicle jacks.

Sports, Fitness & Recreation

Products used in active, recreational, or sporting environments.

Examples include exercise equipment, bicycles, playground equipment.

Pool, Water & Marine Safety

Products used in aquatic and water-related environments.

Examples include pool barriers, flotation devices, marine safety glazing.

Chemical & Environmental Safety

Products used in hazardous material contexts.

Examples include fume cupboards, fuel containers, industrial cleaners.

Visibility & Surface Safety

Products supporting visibility, traction, or impact safety.

Examples include retroreflective materials, slip-resistant surfaces.

Horticulture & Landscaping

Products used in gardening, landscaping, and horticultural applications where safety, quality, and performance are critical.

Examples include soils, composts, mulches, potting mixes.

Why Certification Matters For Safety Products

Safety-critical products are used in environments where failure, non-conformance, or misuse can result in serious injury, loss of life, or regulatory action.

In Australia and New Zealand, many safety products are subject to mandatory requirements, including prescribed standards and enforcement under consumer protection and product safety legislation. In Australia, this includes mandatory consumer product safety standards and bans administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

Independent third-party certification helps provide confidence that safety products:

Comply with applicable mandatory or referenced standards, where required by regulation
Meet relevant Australian, New Zealand, or international safety standards
Perform as intended under normal and foreseeable conditions of use
Are manufactured under controlled, repeatable production processes
Are supported by appropriate testing, technical documentation, and ongoing surveillance

For manufacturers and suppliers, certification supports lawful market access, product acceptance by regulators and enforcement bodies, and confidence across the supply chain — particularly where products are regulated, prescribed, or subject to compliance verification.

Regulatory note
Some safety products are subject to mandatory requirements under consumer product safety legislation. Manufacturers and suppliers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws. Independent certification supports compliance by providing structured, third-party evidence against relevant standards.

Regulatory and Consumer Safety Context

Certain product categories covered under the Safety certification scope may be subject to mandatory consumer product safety requirements, including:

Prescribed safety standards
Permanent or interim bans
Mandatory compliance obligations enforced by regulators

Certification does not replace regulatory obligations, but it provides independent, objective evidence of compliance to support regulatory assessments, product listings, and enforcement expectations.

Certification Framework

CMI safety product certification is conducted in accordance with ISO/IEC 17065, the international standard for bodies certifying products, processes, and services.

This framework ensures certification decisions are:

Independent and impartial
Based on defined certification rules and technical criteria
Supported by objective evidence, including testing and technical evaluation

Depending on the product and applicable regulatory context, certification may involve assessment against Australian, New Zealand, or international standards, including those referenced by regulators or prescribed under consumer product safety law.

Submit your enquiry and we’ll confirm eligibility and next steps.

Transfers are subject to accreditation scope, certification status, and technical review.

Marking of Product Certified Products

Product marking plays a vital role in the Product Certification Scheme, ensuring compliance and promoting safety and quality. Marking products with the appropriate certifications and labels helps consumers make informed choices, distinguishing certified products from others in the market. It provides clear evidence that a product has undergone rigorous testing, manufacturing quality controls and meets established standards. Additionally, product marking aids in traceability, allowing authorities to track and identify certified products throughout the supply chain. By adhering to proper marking practices, manufacturers contribute to building trust, protecting consumers, and upholding the integrity of the Product Certification Scheme, ultimately fostering a safer and more reliable marketplace.

Changes To Your Product Since It Was Certified

The things you need to let CMI Certification know that may or have changed since your product was originally certified are:

Change of Suppliers of any Raw Materials or Components
Change to Certified Product Specifications or Design
Change of Manufacturing Location
Change to Marking, Packaging, User Instructions, Installation Instructions etc
Change in Details or Address of Certificate Holder
Change to Standard or claims within the Standard

This notification should occur prior to the changes being actually implemented so that CMI Certification can discuss and advise the actions/updates that maybe required to be undertaken because of the change.
