Voluntary certification for public tenders
Prove that your product meets the technical requirements of public tenders and bids.
What it is
Public tenders and bids may require proof that the product meets specific technical requirements and standards, even when certification is not mandatory. Voluntary certification, issued by an accredited body, is how to prove it.
Who it is for
Companies taking part in public tenders, bids or purchasing processes that require technical proof of the product.
What we do
- We analyze the tender and identify the technical requirements and standards required
- We define the assessment path and the appropriate accredited body
- We coordinate tests in accredited laboratories and the documentation
- We follow the process until the certificate is issued, within the tender’s deadline
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between voluntary and mandatory certification?
Mandatory certification is required by regulation for the product to be sold. Voluntary certification is the company’s choice or a buyer’s requirement, as in public tenders, and proves compliance with specific standards and requirements.
Is there enough time to certify the product within the tender’s deadline?
It depends on the tests required and the tender’s deadline. In general, 4 to 12 weeks. That is why the sooner the analysis starts, the better.
