Certification

Through an extensive range of global accreditations, recognitions and agreements, Intertek provides certification services for manufacturers, retailers and traders who are required to sell products in virtually any market in the world.

Product certification (the end result of a successful conformity assessment) is required before products may be sold in a particular market. This is typically demonstrated via a market-specific certification mark affixed to the products. Examples include: WH and ETL marks for North America, CE, S and GS in Europe for electrical and electronic products, Intertek Eco certifications for apparel and footwear and Intertek compliance verification for corporate social responsibility.

Certification by a third-party independent certification body such as Intertek confirms that a company's system complies with the appropriate International Standard.
