Moving forward with confidence
Everyone should be able to rely on the quality and safety of the products and services they use every day. That is why these products and services are thoroughly assessed against established rules and standards.
Accreditation strengthens confidence in the quality of products and services
The RvA assesses organisations that test, inspect, certify, calibrate and validate products and services. These organizations operate in a wide range of sectors, including construction, healthcare, food, industry and ICT.
We test whether these organizations do their work well and in accordance with the applicable requirements. If that is the case, we grant accreditation. This is how we contribute to ensuring that everyone can trust that the safety and quality of products and services are in order.

Every day, we drink water from the tap, plug appliances into electrical outlets, and travel by car without giving it a second thought. Fortunately, we can do so with confidence. Discover why.
