There are literally thousands of certification marks available for different applications. BSI can help your organisation follow the correct routes to certification and provide advice on how these differ from mark to mark and within the certification structure and the intended market.
Mandatory
Some certification schemes are mandatory depending on the intended market for the product or service and if not applied correctly are subject to enforcement by law.
For example CE marking is mandatory if your product falls within the scope of one or more of the New Approach Directives and your intended market is somewhere in the European Economic Area (EEA)
Voluntary
Some certification schemes such as Kitemark® are voluntary and are undertaken by manufacturers to demonstrate a product or service and gain a market advantage.
