The link posted by Dave 'YO' contains the sentence:

'The USA PowerFLARM will include a flight recorder approved by IGC
through diamond badges.'

This is mildly presumptious since it has not yet been submitted for
approval by the body set up by IGC to approve IGC Flight Recorders. It is
of course the case that eventually (although in some cases after
significant modification) virtually all FRs which have applied for
approval have eventually been approved.

Presumably the manufacturers of a device sold as an approved flight
recorder will carry out any modifications that may be required for
approval.

Does anyone know status of the PowerFLARM certification for the FAA

Here among my firend it is a common consent that we would rather
invest
in PowerFLARM then any other Flight Recorder - IF PowerFLARM would be
fully certified. However it appears that we can not get a CLEAR
picture
on where PowerFLARM stands right now.
Yahh, we would like to take advantage of the preorder discount, that
is
4 sure... and commit to overall saftety as well..

Thank You in advance for sharing any updates on this issue..
