ertification isn’t just a final checkbox—it can be a strategic lever. In this episode of Safety Third, global certification expert Gábor Siket shares what to look for in a certification partner and how that decision can shape your product’s future.

Finding the right certifier can make or break a safety-critical product. Siket highlights what separates a helpful partner from a regulatory hurdle:

  • Technical competence: Deep expertise in your product category and the standards that apply.

  • Cultural alignment: Look for assessors who collaborate—not just audit.

  • Early engagement: Involve certifiers from the start to avoid late-stage surprises.

  • Global reach: Choose a partner who understands regional nuances and global standards.

  • Strategic mindset: A good certifier supports your goals while safeguarding safety.

From Gatekeeper to Partner

Siket urges innovators to rethink certification as a partnership. When certifiers are involved early, they can offer insights that prevent delays, reduce costs, and ultimately lead to safer, more successful products.

Global Strategy, Global Trust

Certification in a global market requires more than compliance—it requires coordination. Siket explains how international standards and cross-border alignment can create smoother paths to market and broader credibility.
