CERTIFICATION OF PRODUCTS
Certification of products (where “products” is to be interpreted in a broad sense also covering processes and services) is an impartial evaluation/conformity assessment to determine if the product conforms to a specification.
Accredited certification of products covers a wide range of areas. However, it is necessary to have established rules and regulations for the product's, the process' or service's quality or functionality. Certification of products will be an assessment of accordance in relation to these rules and regulations.
