Key certification considerations:

• There are no conditional, temporary, or partial certifications.
• Only lifts bearing ALI’s gold certification label are certified – all others are not certified.
• It is fraudulent to use the ALI Certification Label, or reference the Certification Program, on products that are not manufactured in compliance with all requirements of the applicable standards.
• Certification extends to options and accessories.
• Use of non-certified options or accessories on a certified lift will void the certification of the lift for as long as the configuration remains altered.
• A lift cannot be certified after installation as structural design elements, such as material composition and required stress calculations, cannot be validated.
• There is a procedure for investigating field reports alleging noncompliance or failure of certified products.
• The ALI Certification Mark, the MET Mark, and the ETL Mark are registered with the U.S. and Canadian Governments and are vigorously defended (by legal means if necessary).
• Membership in ALI is not required to participate in the ALI Automotive Lift Certification Program.
