August 2025 Open Source Hardware Certification Roundup
Check out three new certifications we love!
The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) runs a free program that allows creators to certify that their hardware complies with the community definition of open source hardware. Whenever you see the certification logo, you know that the certified hardware meets this standard.
Currently the Certification database lists over 3,126 individual certifications! In August we added 13 new certifications, sutures to LEDs, and everything in between we were happy to have new and recurring names show up! Here are three certifications we think you should check out today.
Magnet PCB Clamps UID UK000078
There’s always a special delight in seeing ways that people figure out improving the build process. People are always exchanging tips and tricks to keep their benches clear but actually making a piece of hardware to help is even cooler! If there’s something your workspace needs it’s the Magnet PCB Clamps. With all the fiddly aspects that come with building electronics and working on PCB’s these are perfect to be able to keep your bits and pieces in place. These are essentially the tool pegboards of PCB design.
DIY Suturing Board UID US002772
The trend of Open Healthware certifications continues and this one is especially interesting! The DIY Suturing Board is a low-cost way to practice sutures that can be handy for anyone training in healthcare or folks who are looking to level up their first aid training. This one has some great documentation too and features a few different builds you can try to practice different methods and angles. It also features some extremely accessible parts, who knew it could be so easy to practice sutures?
Contactless Bicycle Dynamo and Light UID US002771
We know we’ve got some bike fans in the community so we can’t pass up an opportunity to highlight a great new way to make your ride rad. The Contactless Bicycle Dynamo and Light utilizes eddy currents and creates just enough to light up a small LED. Useful for folks who want to avoid batteries in their safety lights and there’s potential for finding ways to expand on the project for even more LEDs!
