Having a certified product is an opportunity for product differentiation and for business development, as well as the commitment to continuous improvement. But what is accredited certification and how does the certification process work?

Accreditation verifies the certification body/registrar’s competence. To fulfil the accreditation criteria, an accrediting authority assesses the certification body/registrar. This is to verify that the certification body/registrar complies with existing requirements. This is the authorities’ way of auditing the auditors (certification bodies/registrars like DNV).

What is third party accredited certification?
Accredited product certification is used to demonstrate compliance to a product technical specification. Third party certification bodies/registrars are auditing organisations that provide auditing services to companies that wish to obtain certification to specific standards.

How do I become certified by DNV?
A successful food production process is one that achieves the established product quality objectives and that is improved on a continual basis. Both your production processes and certificate have to be maintained. Therefore, accredited certification consists of two stages: the primary certification and maintenance of the certificate.
