1. Launch Faster with Pre Approved OEM Paddle Certifications
IPMA helps small brands to bring high-quality paddles to market under their own name by leveraging blanket approvals from OEMs. If a manufacturer has already tested a paddle, IPMA certification covers multiple brand versions without requiring redundant testing.
