3 The criteria generally include requirements for: (i) strength (ii) durability (iii) stability (iv) function fitness for purpose (usually including ergonomic and basic safety criteria) (v) flammability (where appropriate) (vi) reasonable finish and workmanship The performance criteria adopted for Certification are usually based on Australian and New Zealand standards, or AFRDI standards, or where these are not available or relevant on other well recognised standards, such as British, CEN, BIFMA or ASTM, for example.

4 In some instances where none of these exist, we may develop a set of customised requirements. Whichever route to certification is taken each of the requirements listed above must be met to our satisfaction. AFRDI Blue Tick Certification requires that suppliers sign a certification agreement undertaking to maintain consistent quality of their products, to maintain a register of complaints, to notify the Institute of product changes, to have the products retested every three years and when standards change, and to submit to spot audits of product quality.
