They are the organization that sets professional standards, which means
they do in fact certify quite a lot, especially and particularly for
standards used in this specific group.

Which in itself is misleading, because USITT sets the standards used in
professional venues in North America. And once they set a standard, it
almost always becomes the de fact industry standard around the world.
Europe may have some stricter standards, but usually minimum standards
are in line with USITT findings.
