Accelerating Physical AI Safety
The NVIDIA Halos Certification program accelerates cybersecurity, physical AI, and functional safety.
Introduction
NVIDIA Halos-Certified Products
NVIDIA Halos Certification is the industry’s first program dedicated to tuning and optimizing safety in physical AI deployments, including autonomous vehicles (AVs) and robotics. The program ensures that AI products have passed rigorous safety, cybersecurity, and AI safety inspections so they can be more easily integrated into the NVIDIA Halos technology stack.

Frequently Asked Questions
It means the product has passed rigorous inspections by NVIDIA safety and regulatory experts, confirming it meets the highest standards for safety, cybersecurity, and AI integrity, providing confidence for seamless integration with Halos elements. This is essential for physical AI applications like AV and robotics. This certification also includes documentation to support final approval by external agencies.
The lab is the entry point to NVIDIA Halos. It was established to promote safety and cybersecurity and help lab members accelerate the safety and cybersecurity-related aspects of certification.
The inspection focuses on verifying that ecosystem partners or OEMs have correctly integrated and applied NVIDIA Halos elements within a safer and more secure overall system. Additionally, the Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab supports partners in meeting requirements for the use of AI and the development of safety-relevant functions according to UNECE regulations.

The Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab complements existing certification efforts by focusing on safer and more secure integration with Halos elements, providing structured documentation outcomes that can be used in follow-up certification activities. It helps OEMs gather evidence of compliance more efficiently by assembling the building blocks of overall safety—such as hardware safety, platform safety, and cybersecurity—into the Inspection Lab Reports and Certificates.
OEMs and ODMs:
OEMs and ODMs benefit from the lab’s safety, security, and compliance confirmation of correct system integration, reducing the risk of delays due to late-stage integration or validation issues.
OEMs and ODMs that are new to UNECE markets get additional value from the lab’s guidance on certification prerequisites, helping them collect the relevant safety, cybersecurity, and compliance evidence.
Ecosystem Partner:
For ecosystem partners (e.g. a sensor vendor), the Inspection Lab Report and Certificate provide OEMs/ODMs with confidence that their components meet safety, cybersecurity, and physical AI safety requirements for use with NVIDIA hardware, platform, and NDAS software. This helps streamline integration, making it faster, easier, and safer.
The NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab is accredited for ISO/IEC 17020 by ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), which is recognized in 80 countries, including China. ISO/IEC 17020 is widely used by inspection bodies globally, and an international treaty facilitates mutual recognition of certificates from accredited bodies. See the Certification Program section for a list of third-party agencies that recognize the lab certificate.
