Your questions about our certification and labelling services
-
What is a certification process?
Certification involves having your organization assessed by an independent body, in order to verify its compliance with defined standards or benchmarks. This assessment is based on precise criteria, often recognized on a national or international scale (such as ISO standards). It provides official certification of the level of quality, safety or performance achieved, in a reliable and impartial manner. Certification can cover various aspects of an organization: its practices, skills, processes, management systems, products, services, etc. -
What is a labeling process?
Labeling is a voluntary process designed to highlight an organization's best practices or commitments in a specific field (CSR, environment, quality, etc.). It is based on specifications defined by a third-party organization, and results in the award of a label. It enables companies to position themselves on strong values and reinforce their image with their stakeholders. -
What are the differences between certification and labeling?
Certification and labeling have quite different, albeit complementary, objectives. The primary aim of certification is to validate compliance with normative or regulatory requirements. Labelling, on the other hand, highlights a voluntary commitment or a specific positioning. In other words, the main aim of certification is to provide reassurance that practices are compliant, while the label is primarily concerned with commitment, principles and values. -
