What are the advantages of certification?

1. Certification builds trust
An independent body certifies that your product, service, management
system, or employees meet the requirements of a specific standard and
that their quality is continually monitored. This builds trust among your
customers and differentiates you from your competitors. Invitations
to tender certifications are frequently listed as a requirement, or they
give your company an advantage.
2. Evidence of the high quality of your products/services
The certification implies high quality. When you hold a valid certificate
issued by an independent body, you demonstrate the high quality of
your products and services to your customers and business partners.
3. Opening new markets
Certification can also help you access new markets, win new customers
and use alternative sales and marketing channels. By applying
standards and obtaining certificates according to them, you benefit
from internationally comparable benchmarks in times of globalization.
