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 helps ensure that AI products meet rigorous functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI safety standards so they can be more easily integrated into the NVIDIA Halos elements.

Certified Products
End-to-End Halos Certification
NVIDIA Halos Certified products across the entire NVIDIA ecosystem undergo rigorous inspection to deliver safety and cybersecurity for physical AI and accelerated computing solutions.
Certification Program
Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab
NVIDIA is the first company accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to establish the Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, creating a unified framework for functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI compliance. This lab conducts impartial assessments and operates the Halos Certified Program to help ensure that products and systems meet rigorous standards for trusted physical AI deployments.
Streamlining Global Safety Compliance
By providing inspection reports and streamlining technical validations, the lab accelerates compliance with global safety standards for AV safety and cybersecurity. This empowers the automotive ecosystem to deploy safer, more reliable AI-driven technologies while advancing compliance with international standards.
The NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab has now expanded from AVs to robotics.

Frequently Asked Questions
It means the product has passed rigorous product documentation inspections by NVIDIA safety and regulatory experts, confirming it meets rigorous 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 product or system certification 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 process is designed to be transparent and rigorous at every stage. It begins with a structured kickoff meeting where detailed inspection checklists are shared with the customer, setting clear expectations from day one. A series of targeted inspection audits follows, each closing with a documented list of open points so nothing is left ambiguous. Once all audits are complete, a comprehensive inspection report is issued.
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 with NVIDIA Halos elements, reducing the risk of delays due to late-stage integration or validation issues.
The lab also helps OEMs and ODMs collect relevant safety, cybersecurity, and compliance evidence that can support final system certification, regulatory type approval, and market-entry readiness, including for UNECE markets.
Ecosystem Partner:
For ecosystem partners, such as sensor vendors, the Inspection Lab Report and Certificate provide OEMs and ODMs with confidence that their components meet safety, cybersecurity, and physical AI safety requirements for use with NVIDIA hardware, platform, and NDAS software.
These documents can also serve as supporting evidence for final system certification or type approval, helping streamline the path to compliance while making integration 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.
