Certification bodies
CERTIFIED YES, BUT NOT JUST ANYBODY
Because an electrical socket is not certified in the same way as a sofa, and the services of a removal firm are assessed differently from those of a painting and decorating firm, there is not one but 13 certification bodies approved to issue NF certification. These bodies are all highly specialized in their fields, all subject to competence and impartiality requirements and all totally independent with respect to the manufacturers and service providers they certify.
