Whether to meet regulatory or voluntary requirements, our network of qualified auditors and laboratories can help you ensure that your activities and products comply with current standards.

Our certification experts can help you access new markets, strengthen customer confidence and improve the quality of your processes. With Apave, you benefit from personalized support to obtain the certification best suited to your needs, while enhancing your commitment to quality and performance.

• Management system certification (ISO 9001, 140001, 450001, 50001, 19443)

  Management system certification enables companies not only to meet normative requirements, but also to demonstrate the performance of their organizations and their commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of risks associated with their activities (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO 27001, EN 9100).

• Product certification

  Today's consumers are confronted with a very wide range of products and sometimes find it difficult to make a choice.
  to make their choices. Product certification attests to customers that the products they are going to use comply with strict standards, guaranteeing quality and safety (CB Scheme, Hyperbaric, rail, etc.).

• Certification engineering

  To meet all your non-standard requirements, Apave Certification can help you develop customized non-regulatory certifications. Thanks to the development of a unique reference system, you will be able to provide a response adapted to your sector of activity.

Testing and qualifying your equipment, products or materials is essential to guarantee their conformity and robustness in the face of the external constraints they may encounter. Whether you're processing, operating or marketing your product, it's vital to ensure compliance with current standards and obligations, and to control the risk of failure.

Thanks to our tests, we can help you qualify your products and equipment and obtain the necessary certifications, thus guaranteeing the conformity and safety of your assets. We study the behavior of your materials in a variety of situations, and offer a wide range of services from destructive testing to non-destructive testing (NDT), including chemical analysis on site or in the laboratory, mechanical and metallographic testing, strength calculations...
