The best way to know if your products can actually withstand the abuse of a grizzly bear is to inspect if for the IGBC logo. Manufacturers are to place the IGBC Certified Bear-Resistant sticker or logo and their certification number in an obvious location on each product.
In order for products to be approved by IGBC, each product must meet specific criteria, and pass a live bear test using captive grizzly bears or go through a controlled technical evaluation. Certified products must still be properly utilized – for example, an unlocked cooler is not bear-resistant. The IGBC also encourages people living, working, or recreating in grizzly bear habitat to be diligent in their sanitation and attractant storage to minimize the chance of a human-bear conflict.
