Security and Safety

There is a growing (international) need for security and safety, both indoors and outdoors. Industries, national governments and the European Union are continuously drawing up new laws and regulations aimed at preventing or overcoming risk situations. For instance by adopting rules for product certification, CE markings, the Safe Business Practice Quality Mark and working conditions rules. But also for surveillance, alarm systems, fire resistance and burglar-proof facilities.

The applicable standards vary per industry, country and topic. Kiwa is at home in these standards and is able to show manufacturers, contractors, national and local governments and building managers the way in certification and inspection protocols for building products, gas, water, and fire prevention installations and equipment, management and maintenance. These protocols allow manufacturers, fitters and building managers to demonstrate that they manage and control the risks in the field of fire, break-ins, Legionella, gas explosions and toxic aspects.

A Kiwa certificate represents trust and contributes towards creating a positive image towards your customers and clients. Likewise, the competent authorities are sooner inclined to issue a permit to a certified company. Having a certificate also improves your position when negotiating terms with an insurance company.
