Certify - Audit - Accredit
Your key
challenges
Certification and labelling concern all public or private sector organisations and companies and all workforces, and present many challenges for companies and organisations in their markets.
- Ensure customer satisfaction and safety.
- Optimise the way the company operates. The procedures to be followed enable consistent practices and better use of resources.
- Limit unnecessary costs and optimise production costs.
- Secure transactions and employment. A company’s certification can enable it to reach new markets by meeting the expectations of demanding companies that only want to work with certified suppliers.
Certification is a procedure whereby an independent, approved body validates the compliance of an organisation’s quality system with officially recognised standards or quality guidelines or for the certification of products or services, the conformity of the product to officially recognised standards or benchmarks.
Labelling is a procedure whereby an organisation, or its products and services, are controlled with the aim of promoting the desire to maintain the highest level of requirements, making it possible to stand out from the competition.
Labels and certifications both provide an additional guarantee in terms of quality, efficiency, performance, safety in use and commitment. However, it is important to differentiate between certification and labels.
Certifications validate procedures and compliance with technical requirements, while labels validate the quality of the final product or service.
