SEECERT is accredited by the German Accreditation Body DAkkS as a certification body for products, processes and services in the fields of functional safety, railway technology, fire protection and power plant control technology for the certification of the safety, quality and reliability of hardware, software, hardware-software systems, processes and materials in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17065 (accreditation number: D-ZE-11074-01).

• We issue certificates for safety, quality and reliability for our customers as Safety Approved, Safety Approved SEooC, Approved Material, Trusted Tool, Trusted Process, FSM.
• Your products are complex, as are the development and manufacturing processes involved in their production. It is therefore difficult for manufacturers to make the safety and quality of their products transparent and for users to determine their safety and quality.
• With its certificates, SEECERT confirms the safety, quality and reliability of your software, hardware, materials or processes.
• Manufacturers have an additional sales argument and users have the certainty that they are using high-quality products.
• The work of the SEECERT certification body is based on absolute confidentiality of the information disclosed during certification. Only in this way is it possible to simultaneously process competing products or systems that are subject to confidentiality.

By locating the SEECERT certification body within TÜV NORD Systems GmbH & Co KG (TNS), the certification body has the financial resources of TNS at its disposal. TNS is supported by the results of all its business activities, including the activities of the certification body.
