Configuring the display of 1C-Bitrix product certificates of conformity

Product Compliance Certificates Display Setup in 1C-Bitrix

For certain product categories — household appliances, electronics, food products, building materials — customers request compliance certificates directly on site. Task: attach certificate files to products in catalog and display them on product card.

Where to Store Certificates

Certificates stored as infoblock properties. Best option — property type "File" (F) or "Infoblock Link" (E), if certificates need reuse between products (one declaration covers entire product line).

Option A — "File" property (simpler, when each product has own file):

In admin: Content → Infoblocks → [your catalog] → Properties → Add property:

• Type: File
• Code: CERTIFICATE
• Multiple: Yes (product can have multiple certificates)
• Allowed extensions: pdf, jpg, png

Option B — separate "Certificates" infoblock (better with many documents):

Create CERTIFICATES infoblock with properties: FILE (file), CERT_NUMBER (string), VALID_TO (date), PRODUCT_IDS (infoblock link, multiple). Select all certificates tied to product in product card.

Output in Product Card Template

In catalog.element component template (path: /local/templates/[template]/components/bitrix/catalog.element/[name]/template.php) add certificate section.

For Option A (file property):

if (!empty($arResult['PROPERTIES']['CERTIFICATE']['VALUE'])) {
    $certs = $arResult['PROPERTIES']['CERTIFICATE'];
    // For multiple property VALUE — array of file IDs
    $fileIds = is_array($certs['VALUE']) ? $certs['VALUE'] : [$certs['VALUE']];
    foreach ($fileIds as $fileId) {
        $fileInfo = \CFile::GetFileArray($fileId);
        if ($fileInfo) {
            echo '<a href="' . $fileInfo['SRC'] . '" target="_blank">';
            echo 'Certificate: ' . htmlspecialchars($fileInfo['ORIGINAL_NAME']);
            echo '</a>';
        }
    }
}

For Option B (separate infoblock):

$certRes = \CIBlockElement::GetList(
    ['SORT' => 'ASC'],
    [
        'IBLOCK_ID'                => CERT_IBLOCK_ID,
        'PROPERTY_PRODUCT_IDS'     => $arResult['ID'],
    ],
    false,
    false,
    ['ID', 'NAME', 'PROPERTY_FILE', 'PROPERTY_CERT_NUMBER', 'PROPERTY_VALID_TO']
);
while ($cert = $certRes->GetNext()) {
    // output
}

Block Formatting on Page

Typical formatting — "Certificates" tab next to "Description" and "Characteristics," or separate section at bottom of product card. If using component with detail page via template, simplest is add via $APPLICATION->AddViewContent() and output at needed template location.

File Type Icons and Previews

For PDF certificate — show PDF icon and download link. For image (scan) — can show thumbnail via \CFile::ResizeImageGet() with params ['width' => 80, 'height' => 110].
