Apave in Italy is accredited for :

• Management system certifications

The benefits of an effective management system, certified by an independent third party, go far beyond the audit process and customer image. They enable organisations to meet requirements (regulatory and non-regulatory), minimise risk, improve efficiency and reduce costs.

• Product and service certifications

Beyond proof of conformity, product and service certification is directly linked to quality, and manufacturers may choose to certify their product or service to highlight specific qualities without any regulatory requirements. Certification is therefore a differentiating factor and brings added value to both the producer and the customer, making it a valuable tool.

• Certification of people and skills

In some sectors, certification of skills is compulsory and regulated to ensure compliance with certain standards relating to the knowledge and skills of the certified person, who must be able to carry out the activities for which he or she is responsible correctly and, above all, safely. Certifications not only offer value to certifiers by increasing their market value, among other things, but are also very useful to employers by improving their efficiency and reputation. Voluntary certification is also common in this sector.
