Our certifications
Market participants need assurance about the quality of goods and services supplied. Based on a standard, for example, a supplier can have its product or service objectively assessed or tested by a laboratory, certification or inspection body.
If the result is good, the assessing organisation issues a Declaration of Conformity of the product or service. Usually, that Statement consists of a Certificate or a Declaration. This is why an assessing body is called a conformity declaration body.
