I think you are right. I was poking fun at this, but Rossi is quite right to say that his reactor has been officially tested by someone, and certified to be safe for experimental purposes. That is a significant accomplishment. It deserves respect. It is a gigantic reactor, after all. A typical cold fusion reactor is tiny, producing a few watts at most. It does not need certification. This gadget surely does, and let us give Rossi credit for having got it. I was poking fun at this because I assumed that "certification" means the government tells you: "you now have the right to sell this device commercially." This document is far from that! Perhaps Rossi never actually said he has commercial certification. Perhaps this is yet another miscommunication. Rossi's affairs are rife with such confusion. I think he sometimes says misleading things. He says "certification" giving the impression it is across-the-board certification, and perhaps he deliberately refrains from saying it means only "permission to continue with R&D at this site, with this machine." - Jed
