NCI Becomes Normec Certification Institute: Trusted Service, a Stronger Future

From the Dutch Certification Institute to Normec Certification Institute

“The Dutch Certification Institute is where we come from, and that remains an important part of who we are,” says Astrid. “At the same time, we’re increasingly operating internationally. With the name Normec Certification Institute, we combine an international image while retaining our recognizable acronym, NCI.”

The new name underscores our connection to the Normec Group and supports the organization’s further growth ambitions, while preserving our familiar identity.

Personal, practical, and close to the customer

Since its founding in 2002, NCI has been known for its practical approach, short lines of communication, and personalized service. According to Astrid, these characteristics will remain unchanged.

“What sets us apart is our no-nonsense mentality. We take a practical approach to auditing, work closely with our clients, and act quickly when necessary. For us, certification is not an end in itself, but a means to make organizations safer, better, and more future-proof.”

This approach has enabled the organization to grow significantly in recent years and establish a firm position in the field of health, safety, and security certification.

The Strength of Normec

Joining the Normec Group opens up new opportunities for both clients and employees.

“We were looking for a partner who could support us in the continued growth of our organization,” Astrid explains. “Normec offers us the best of both worlds: the scale, expertise, and support of an international group, while at the same time allowing us to retain our own identity and way of working.”

For customers, this means access to a broader range of services. Within Normec, various specialized certification bodies work together, allowing organizations to turn to a single group for multiple certification needs.

What will change for customers?

The most visible changes are the new name, corporate identity, certificates, and logos. To support customers during this transition, a transition period has been established, and clear instructions are being provided on the use of the new brand elements.

At the same time, the core of the organization remains unchanged.

“Our people, our culture, and the way we work together will remain the same. Ultimately, that is what customers value and what will continue to define Normec Certification Institute in the future.”
