The Certification Process
Our registration process is not only stress free, it is free!
Certification
Third-party certification distinguishes products and services from their competitors and gives customers confidence about their performance. Certification is independent confirmation by an expert third party that a product, system or service meets, and continues to meet, appropriate standards.
Certification gives you confidence that products and services will perform as expected - through a combination of regular organisational audits and a schedule of ongoing auditing.
It benefits both suppliers and purchasers:
-Suppliers can demonstrate to customers that their products and services meet the appropriate standards. This can enable companies to access and sell into new markets.
-Purchasers can trust that third-party certified products and services meet set standards and therefore avoid costly mistakes and reduce risk.
