Consulting and certification

  • AENOR Confía will not certify any management system for which it has provided consulting services to AENOR Conocimiento until two years have passed. In this case, it will also not certify a product within the same period when the certification scheme requires an assessment of the client's management system.

  • Certification will not be simpler, easier, faster, or less expensive with AENOR Confia simply because you have used the services of AENOR Conocimiento.
