World Curling Certification of Curling Tools Products

You can find the up-to-date World Curling list of approved sweeping devices on their website.

SmartBroom

SmartBroom 3 is a world curling certified sweeping device, approved for use in competition at all levels. To be compliant as of June 20, 2025, your SmartBroom must be fitted with:

  • A competition sleeve, which has a valid product code on the bottom of the sewn-in label
  • BlueFoam 2 (learn how to identify BlueFoam versions here)

BasicBroom

World Curling has paused all new equipment testing, and is not accepting applications for any brooms not certified by January 1, 2025. Unfortunately, while BasicBroom meets all the requirements for competition, and uses the exact same certified components as the SmartBroom 3, including the competition fabric sleeves and BlueFoam 2, it cannot yet be approved by World Curling.

Though it is outside of our control and we cannot make any guarantees, we expect World Curling to lift their pause on new equipment after the 2025/2026 season.
