Product Certification
Independent verification that your products meet applicable standards and regulations.
Product certification, or product qualification, is the process of certifying that a certain product has passed performance tests and quality assurance checks and meets qualification criteria stipulated in regulations, standards or technical specifications.
An independent certificate tells buyers, regulators and distributors that your product has been checked by an impartial third party, not just declared compliant by the manufacturer. For many markets it is also a legal condition for placing the product on sale.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is product certification the same as ISO 9001?+
No. ISO 9001 certifies a management system. Product certification confirms that a specific product meets defined requirements, although the two work well together.
Do I need CE marking to export to Europe?+
If your product falls under a relevant European directive, yes. The manufacturer's CE marking is required for it to be placed on the EFTA and EU market.
