We know how complex certification systems can seem to those who don't live and breathe them. That's why we don't just provide certification services – we take the time to communicate our findings in a way that's meaningful to our customers, helping them create a real impact. You can be sure that any information you receive from us will be accurate, unbiased and credibly sourced, as well as straight-forward and accessible.
At FLOCERT, we practice what we preach. Since 2007 we've been accredited against the internationally recognised ISO norm for product certifiers, which is ISO 17065 today. Seeking independent verification of our own quality ensures we're continually strengthening our organisation and staying true to our vision. It demonstrates how committed we are to leading the way in fair trade certification.
To be accredited we are regularly audited by the German National Accreditation body DAkkS.
It is our policy to become ISO 17065 accredited for all Fairtrade standards, existing and new (for example: Precious Metals, Climate and Textile). Please watch this space for updates about scope extensions of our accreditation.
Our accreditation is vital to our reputation. That's why we have systems in place to make sure that we always comply with ISO 17065. Here are some of the ways we integrate ISO 17065 into our every day processes
