Qualified Enterprises

Certification of trades and services serves to document the competent performance of the skills offered. Following successful testing and assessment, the enterprises concerned are awarded the DIN CERTCO "Qualified Enterprise" certificate as evidence of their special qualification.

The scope of this form of certification covers such aspects as the basic and further training of staff, assessment of the trade or service by independent experts, award of the certificate and monitoring of its continuing validity, i.e. periodic review of the performance of the trade or service.

DIN Qualified Enterprises view themselves as partners of their customers. The certificate and mark documenting their special skills serve to distinguish them from the mass of their compe-titors as enterprises committed to the achievement of quality and customer satisfaction.

Succesful completion of the certification process is confirmed by the issue of a certificate. The enterprise is then entitled to use the "DIN Qualified Enterprise" mark. The certificate remains valid for the period specified in the applicable certification scheme.
