1.UL Listing: Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is a widely recognized testing and certification organization. UL listing for grooved products indicates that they have been tested and meet the relevant safety and performance standards for use in fire protection systems.

2.FM Approval: Factory Mutual (FM) Approval is another well-known certification for fire protection products. FM Approved grooved products have undergone testing to ensure they meet FM Global's high standards for safety and reliability.

3.VdS Certification: VdS is a German organization that provides testing and certification services for fire protection and security products. Their certification indicates that grooved products comply with European standards and regulations.

4.CE Marking: In Europe, products used in fire protection systems need to bear the CE marking, which indicates that they conform to the applicable European Union directives and standards.

5.ISO Standards: Grooved products used in fire protection systems may need to adhere to relevant ISO standards. ISO 6182, for example, specifies requirements and testing methods for non-metallic pipe joint assemblies for use in fire protection systems.

6.NFPA Standards: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sets numerous standards related to fire protection systems. While they don't issue certifications themselves, adherence to NFPA standards (such as NFPA 13 for sprinkler systems) is often required or recommended in various regions.

7.Local Regulatory Approvals: Depending on the jurisdiction, local fire and safety authorities might require specific certifications or approvals for grooved products used in fire protection systems.

8.Manufacturer's Certifications: Manufacturers of grooved products may provide their own certifications and warranties to ensure the quality and performance of their products.

It's important to note that the specific certifications required can vary based on factors such as the type of grooved product (e.g., couplings, fittings), the application (e.g., water-based sprinkler systems, foam systems), and the local regulations in the area where the products will be installed.

When selecting grooved products for fire protection systems, it's crucial to work closely with industry professionals, engineers, and regulatory authorities to ensure that the chosen products meet the necessary certifications and standards for your specific project.
