Program Overview
Introducing Calm Tech Pre-Certified™
While we've certified innovative products already on the market, we also see the need to help shape products before they're fully developed – catching potential issues early on, rather than after launch.
For the first time, companies and organizations will be able to work with Calm Tech Institute from the design stage of future products. ​​​
Pre-Certification Process
Calm Tech Institute can review your products before they launch*.
1. Schedule a call with us to see if your product might be a good candidate.
2. Provide us with a product or prototype for review.
3. We'll ask clarifying questions and provide a response with any changes needed for pre-certification.
4. Once complete, we'll send a certificate and logo materials for marketing, product and website use.
*Most product reviews can be completed in less than two weeks. CTI is happy to sign NDAs for products under development. CTI members can travel on-site for more confidential product reviews. Pre-Certification applications require a small admin fee for processing and review.
