Certification and labelling
Your commitment to quality in the pursuit of safety
Reassure your customers!
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.
Apave, through its dedicated certification entities, makes all its skills and knowledge available to companies in France and abroad.
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).
Certification of products and services
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).
Today's consumers are presented with a vast range of products and services and sometimes find it difficult to make their choice. Product and service certification offer customers assurance that the products and services they will be using comply with a strict set of standards, synonymous with quality and safety. This certification reassures users in their decision-making, for instance (CbyApave, Qualiopi, CB Scheme).
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.
CE marking
The increase in international trade is bringing forth new risks for users. Apave, a third-party inspection body, serves them by assessing product compliance with the requirements set out in the corresponding technical harmonisation legislation for user safety. The experts at Apave and Sopemea support you in qualifying your equipment and testing your electrical products (Safety, EMC, Performance under European Directives, etc.) in order to earn CE marking, in particular for:
– PPE for falls from height, respiratory PPE and helmets,
– Ski lift vehicles,
– Computer equipment and laboratory and testing equipment,
– Electrical appliances, such as lighting, household appliances and low-voltage industrial equipment.
