What is the certification service? Our specialists verify the compliance of your product with the requirements of an applicable standard. This process includes the assessment of one or more samples by means of controlled tests, and it ends with the issuance of our certificate of compliance. The certificate is nationally and internationally valid, allowing you to access new markets through our membership in IECEE, IQNet and multiple bilateral agreements.
According to the choice of each manufacturer, the certificate may have different scopes, including a limited quantity of product (Batch), a representative sample (Type) or the entire production (Conformity Mark).
In the latter case, in addition to the above, we will conduct a control of the factory, its organization and quality management, initially and periodically. If all of these instances are satisfactorily completed, you will be able to apply our prestigious Conformity Mark on your products, thus proving their quality and also differentiating yourself from the competition.
