Certification, verification and inspections under one roof.
Demonstrable in practice.
Normec Certification supports organizations with certification, verification and inspections. Each service is performed completely independently and impartially, in accordance with the applicable accreditation requirements, so you can always count on an objective assessment without conflicts of interest. Our auditors verify that your management systems and processes meet (inter)national standards. Verification gives you certainty about the accuracy of data and performance. And inspections give you insight into how processes are actually carried out on the shop floor.
So you can be sure that your organization is not only compliant on paper, but demonstrably strong in practice.
Sectors we operate in
Normec Certification is active in a variety of industries and supports organizations with independent certification, verification and inspections. Find out in which industries we operate and how we help your organization demonstrate quality, safety, sustainability and compliance in practice.
“At Normec Certification, we believe that quality goes beyond compliance alone. Through independent certification, verification and inspections, we enable organisations to demonstrably achieve strong performance in practice.”

The clock is ticking for the flex market: anyone who hasn’t started with the Wtta yet is falling behind
Starting in January 2027, the flex market will undergo radical changes. All companies in the Netherlands that hire out or borrow workers will then be subject to a new licensing system that extends far beyond traditional staffing agencies. Yet many organizations still believe that the Act on the Authorization for the Provision of Workers (Wtta) does not affect them, or that there is still plenty of time. That line of thinking is dangerous. Especially in combination with the recently enacted Act on Greater Security for Flexible Workers, a tipping point is emerging: organizations need to know now whether they fall under the Wtta, what obligations they will face, and how they can get their processes in order in a timely manner. Those who wait until the law actually takes effect run the risk of having to rush to fix—under significant time pressure—what should have been put in place today.

ISO 27001 certification is not the same as NIS2 compliance
Moniek Steegers has been working at Normec Certification Institute (NCI) for over two years as an ISO auditor for ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Prior to that, she worked at KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers as an IT auditor and consultant, as well as a compliance and information risk officer at NXP and Canon. Given her background, she understands well why ISO 27001 certification is an appropriate way for organizations to have their information security management systems independently assessed. However, it is not necessarily sufficient to also comply with the European NIS 2 Directive, for which Dutch legislation will soon apply as well, as she explains in this interview.
