A group built so that your file never waits on an outside contractor
ICC brings conformity assessment, laboratory and scientific research, R&D, foreign trade and consulting together under one roof. Accreditation requires the certification body and the testing laboratory to stay independent of each other, so they are two separate legal entities: linked on the commercial side, never on the technical one.
Legal entities of the group
Our story
ICC started out as a single certification body. It grew into a group because clients kept asking for everything that surrounds the certificate: the testing that comes before it, the research that stands behind it, and the foreign trade operations that follow.
Independence by design
The certification body and the testing laboratory are separate legal entities. Accreditation requires this, and we see it as a strength: a test report carries weight precisely because it was not written by the same people who issue the certificate.
Technology
We keep renewing the group's instrument base, and that is what keeps turnaround times short and results predictable. We know which factors decide whether a file goes through, and we deal with them before it is submitted.
