The purpose of a standard trade mark is to indicate a connection in the course of trade between the trade mark owner and its goods/services.

By comparison, the function of a certification trade mark is to indicate that goods or services provided under the trade mark comply with certain standards or possess a certain characteristic.

Registration of a certification trade mark involves filing a trade mark application, together with a statement of case in the form of a Statutory Declaration, which sets out the rules governing use of the certification trade mark and how those rules will be applied and by whom.
