Certification of products and services
NF EN ISO/IEC 17065
The public authorities call upon accredited product and service certification bodies for preventing industrial risks and nuisances.
These certifications provide a guarantee that a product, service or process complies with precise criteria. The fact that they are covered by accreditation reinforces the market's confidence in its conformity.
On account of the risks incurred, certain products must comply with "new approach"-type European directives and be assessed by notified certification bodies. As is the case in most Member States of the European Union, these bodies are notified in France on the basis of an accreditation.
Use of accreditation thus contributes to better protecting the environment and the population.
