Certification and labelling Your commitment to quality in the pursuit of safety Reassure your customers!

BUSINESS ACTIVITY

Incorporate certification and labelling into your organisation to enhance your performance and showcase your commitments Certification and labelling are enjoying a strong surge, which can be felt in all business sectors. In a constantlydeveloping market, it is essential that you engage and stand out to meet new expectations and enhance your performance safely. Organisations must take this trend on board to boost their performance and both distinguish themselves from their competitors and reassure their customers.

Certification of skills Skills certification ensures that your employees are recognised for their skills, know-how and ability to carry out their professional activity in a completely safe manner. It showcases the value of your human capital and increases the performance of organisations (DEMOCRAT, certification of boiler room operators, DPO, multi-skilled maintenance agent).

Apave, through its dedicated certification entities, makes all its skills and knowledge available to companies in France and abroad.

Certification of management systems By having their management systems certified, companies can meet normative requirements but also demonstrate the performance of their organisations and their commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of risks connected with their operations (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, ISO 22301).

Labelling Labelling is a voluntary undertaking that showcases the strong commitment on the part of its seekers to maintain the highest standards. It signals demonstrated trustworthiness and credibility, and thus enhances the image of products, services and also companies. Our teams support you at every stage of your process to secure recognition for your accomplishments (HS2 Label, Safe and Clean Label, Longtime Label, Biodiversity Signature Label, CSR 26000, etc.).

Certification engineering To attest that you meet all the requirements not connected with specific standards, Apave Certification supports you in the tailor-made production of your nonregulatory Certifications and Labels. By developing a single reference framework, you will be able to deliver the responses your business sector is expecting.
