What Is a NIOSH Certificate?
A NIOSH certificate is issued for occupational-safety-and-health equipment and related products. It confirms that the product meets defined health and safety standards. NIOSH certification is particularly common for respiratory protection equipment, where it is used to evidence product quality and effectiveness.

A NIOSH application runs through the following stages:
Application process:
1. Sistem Patent Kalite files the NIOSH application on your behalf. The application identifies the product and the NIOSH standards to be assessed against.
2. Product review:
The product is reviewed against the NIOSH standards. The review covers product quality and safety checks.
3. Certification:
If the product meets the requirements, the NIOSH certificate is issued, confirming the product's quality and safety.
