The purpose of a certification mark is to indicate that the goods or services on which it is used comply with certain objective standards which the proprietor has set. These may relate to: origin; material; mode of manufacture; or quality; The terms governing the use of the mark must be set out in regulations, which must be approved prior to registration of the mark. Responsibility for this lies with the Trade Marks Registry. In debates on the legislation, the government gave the example of an association of cheese makers, which may allow its members to put a certification mark on their goods to indicate that they were produced by traditional methods. The wool industry uses the well-known ‘Woolmark’, registered in the name of the International Wool Secretariat, to identify its products. And there is no reason why a manufacturer, for example, of vaccines used in fish farming, may not register a certification mark which indicates that certain fish have been treated with its products. Like collective marks, certification marks may be used with other trademarks. The producer of goods or supplier of a service may indicate the origin of the goods or service as well as their compliance with the relevant standards. Paragraph 2 of schedule 2 modifies the notion of what a trademark may comprise for the purposes of these provisions. It must serve to distinguish goods or services which are certified from goods or services that are not. CONDITIONS FOR REGISTRATION
