Product Certification
For over 50 years, Kiwa has been a specialist in the field of product certification for the water industry, public utilities, manufacturing and building services.

Product certification not only guarantees the quality of the final product, but also of the whole production process: from the initial inspection of the raw materials up to and including final inspection, storage and delivery. For the testing of products, Kiwa will use its own laboratories or those approved by international standards.

A product is tested and certified on the basis of the appropriate Evaluation Guideline suitable for that particular product. If a Guideline is not available, Kiwa can offer you the possibility of drafting a specific Evaluation Guideline appropriate for your product. This allows you to obtain a unique position in your market and increase your market value.

By confirming systems and models which describe the processess, and putting in place checks at critical points you will succeed in improving the efficiency within your business. For many organistaions ISO certification turns out to be an essential instrument for improvement.

Kiwa can certify your quality management system to ISO 9001, or your environmental protection system for complaince with ISO 14001, and therefore Kiwa can offer the advantage of enabling organisations to combine procedures to prevent wasting time on duplication of systems.
