What is certification?

Certification is an act whereby an accredited conformity assessment body attests, after verification, that a product, service, system or person meets the requirements specified in an adopted or recognized standard.

Our certification department

At ONANOR, the certification department consists of two services:

The Systems Certification Department ensures that a management system, such as a quality-management system (SMQ), environmental-management system (SME) or occupational health-and-safety management system (SMS), meets the requirements of the agreed standards.
The Product and Service Certification Department verifies the conformity of products and/or services. It grants the right to use national standards-conformity marks in different fields and manages quality labels.
