Legally, a certification trademark is one that distinguishes goods or services with a predetermined quality or other characteristic from goods or services more generally. It certifies the existence of such a quality.

The law excludes applicants that make these goods or provide the services or that are not independent from the enterprises that make the goods or provide the services.
