It is the activity of a laboratory service, examination, product, system or personnel to determine in writing whether an independent institution or organization complies with a certain standard or technical regulation.
When it comes to product certification, it is understood that the product is certified, not the company. For example, if you want to sell a product in the European market, you are strictly prohibited to sell without the CE mark on the product concerned. If you want to sell products in this market, if your product is inspected and approved by an accredited organization according to the relevant criteria, CE certificate can be put into the product.
Product certification is not just a CE certificate and a CE mark. In many different fields, there are different systems that require different criteria for many different products. For example; Halal certification is a type of product certification that allows a product to be placed on the market with a halal label if it is considered Halal.
In addition, there are many different product certification systems such as ECOmark, GLOBALGAP, 7 Star. Product certification has many benefits, such as customer confidence in the enterprise, ease of marketing, contribution to continuous improvement, and reduction in poor quality costs.
An accreditation system has been established to ensure the validity of the studies carried out by the conformity assessment and certification bodies and the reports and documents to be issued by these organizations. Accredited organizations are identified as reliable organizations.
The accreditation system ensures the reliability and validity of the reports, calibration documents and management system documents, product documents and similar documents to be issued on the subjects described above.
