Every CERTINOX certification follows the same documented methodology, aligned with ISO/IEC 17065. No shortcuts, no preferential pathways, no exceptions.

STEP 01

Application & Pre‑Assessment

STEP 02

On‑Site Audit

CERTINOX technical expert conducts on‑site audit covering material traceability, transformation processes, surface treatment (pickling, passivation), and post‑fabrication verification.

1–2 days on‑site
STEP 03
