Submit
Manufacturers must submit product data through the BHMA Certification portal in order to submit product for certification. Please refer to the Certification portal page for more details and resources on how to use the portal.
Approval
Product data will be reviewed by the test lab and require approval from the test lab and BHMA to become certified.
Certification listing fees invoiced by BHMA upon test lab approval cover certified products for the calendar year (Jan-Dec) and are not prorated. Annual certification listing fees must be paid to maintain certification listing in the Certified Products Directory. See the Licensing Agreement for the BHMA administrative fee.
Update a listing
Updates to products may be submitted at any time through use of the certification portal.
