Product Certification Guidelines
Certification Guidelines are established to evaluate the credentials and claims of applicants to the AIS Certification program to ensure they meet specified AIS standards and requirements. AIS Certification provides a standardized base-level of professional knowledge and skills for stress management devices, programs or items.
Product samples will be distributed to the members of the AIS Certification Committee and possibly to Fellows who are experts in a related field of specialty, for use and review. If you are submitting a training program or service, we will contact you to discuss options for reviewing your submission. Evaluations will be based on the quality and amount of research submitted supporting the product or service, efficacy, ease of use, durability and customer service. Those outcomes will be weighed against product/service claims and marketing. The product/ service will also be evaluated in context with any previously certified products/services in the same category.
Examples of product categories are:
- Devices/Appliances
- Applications/Software
- Furniture
- Audio recordings
- Video recordings
- Books/Manuals
- Topical Solutions and Supplements
- Training Programs
If your product does not fit into one of these product categories, you may submit it as miscellaneous.
