The process
A documented, structured process
Seven steps that take you from the initial form to the certificate issuance, conducted with transparency and minimal bureaucracy, without compromising on technical rigor.
Steps 1 and 2
Request and technical proposal
You fill in the form with the company and product data.
Our team analyzes the applicable scope and comes back with a detailed proposal of timeline, scope and cost within 2 business days.
Steps 3 and 4
Approval, contract and assessment
Once the proposal is approved, we formalize the contract.
Conformity assessment is the central step: it may include document review, auditing at the manufacturer,
sample testing and on-site inspection.
Step 5
Critical review and decision
The decision is made by a professional not involved in the assessments, ensuring full impartiality.
It is a structural requirement of our operation as an accredited body.
Steps 6 and 7
Issuance and maintenance of the certificate
We issue the Certificate of Conformity with a defined validity period and authorize use of the seal.
We carry out periodic audits and tests to ensure that the product or service remains in conformity.
