Collective knowledge and experience

VRO Certification recently joined the Normec Group, of which Normec Fair Labor Certification is a part. VRO Certification will eventually merge with Normec Fair Labor Certification (formerly Crop Certification), thereby strengthening its position as a market leader in conducting various inspections and audits in the field of fair labor.

VRO Certification Joins Forces with Normec

With our combined knowledge and experience, we understand the industry landscape and are familiar with the laws and regulations underlying the standards and certification marks. We also share a high standard of quality in our audits and inspections. By merging the two organizations, we can offer a broader range of services—for example, for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, as well as dozens of other standards.

How will this affect you?

Although the process of merging into a single organization has been set in motion, we will continue to operate as two separate organizations for the time being. Our clients and business partners will retain their designated contacts and inspectors. However, thanks to the expansion of our service offerings, we can now provide you with even more comprehensive support in the areas of inspection and certification, effective immediately.

Background

VRO Certification and Normec FLC have known each other for quite some time. Fifteen years ago, we were both involved in the creation of the SNA quality mark and the NEN 4400-1 standard. We understand each other’s work methods, what we value, and what we want for our clients.

Thanks to this development, we now have everything under one roof when it comes to inspection and certification. That is why we see this step opening up a world of possibilities—for you, for our employees, and for all those other companies that prioritize fair labor practices. After all, creating a transparent and fair labor market remains our shared ambition.
