Product and equipment certification

Product certification is the process of verifying that a product’s properties comply with the requirements of a technical regulation. Product certification is a key process that confirms that a product meets all requirements before it is launched on the market. In addition to risk analysis, testing in an accredited laboratory and comparison of product characteristics with the requirements of the regulation, it usually includes surveillance of the stability of the quality of the certified product over the period of validity of the certificate. The result of the certification process is a certificate that confirms the product complies with the technical requirements. A certificate is therefore a document issued by an independent body that confirms the product’s characteristics and its compliance with specific regulations.

Product certification can be mandatory or voluntary, depending on the type of product, its function and legislative requirements.

Compulsory and voluntary certification

There are two main types of certifications.

Compulsory certification

Certain products, especially those that come into contact with the general public or have specific safety risks, must be certified according to applicable legislation and harmonised standards before being placed on the market. This includes, for example, CE certification, which is required for many electronic and mechanical products, or certification for food contact materials.

Voluntary certification

Voluntary certification is available for products not covered by specific legal standards. This often corresponds to customer quality requirements, such as certification of the properties of plastic products or certification of the properties of fuels. Voluntary certification is an excellent way to demonstrate a high level of product quality and safety beyond minimum requirements and gain a competitive advantage.

Certification process

Product certification is based on the results of tests carried out in a laboratory according to established standards. The process involves a thorough assessment of the product and verification that it meets quality, durability and safety requirements. Based on the test results, a certificate is then issued to confirm the product’s compliance with the required standards. The whole process normally takes 6-10 weeks from the start of certification.

The significance of a certificate includes:

• credibility of the manufacturer and the product,
• guarantee of the stability of selected product characteristics,
• verification of quality,
• marketing tool,
• increasing the company’s export share,
• promotion on the European market
• and reducing the likelihood of product complaints.
