Bounding is the activity of adhering to all the requirements of installing and/or using safety-related products and items in conformance with an active certification listing that has been issued by an organisation that is nationally accredited both for testing and product certification. It is the exclusive means to establish due diligence for goods and services whose use is mandated by a building code or a fire code. The term is most commonly used in North American fire protection and has originated in the construction and maintenance of nuclear reactors in the United States.
