Additional quality and sector-specific certification areas include risk management, business continuity, healthcare services, medical-device quality management, cosmetics good manufacturing practices, railway vehicles and components, tourism services and other specialized fields.

Product Certification and Conformity Assessment

Product certification evaluates products against applicable standards, technical requirements and regulatory criteria. TÜRCERT’s stated product certification scope includes CE marking, G marking for construction products, RoHS, GlobalGAP, organic agriculture, good agricultural practices, GMP and FSC-COC.

Testing, inspection and analysis can complement certification by providing technical evidence regarding a product, manufacturing environment or production process.

Inspection and Periodic Control Services

Industrial businesses use a wide range of lifting equipment, pressure vessels, electrical installations and other technical systems. Periodic inspections and technical measurements can be required depending on the equipment, applicable legislation and relevant standards.

TÜRCERT’s stated inspection activities include lifting and handling equipment such as cranes, mobile cranes, platforms, forklifts, lifts and elevators. Pressure equipment inspections cover items such as boilers, compressors, air tanks, pressure vessels, LPG tanks, steam boilers and related safety devices.

Technical measurement services include grounding measurements, lightning protection measurements, electrical panel checks, residual-current protection tests, insulation testing, continuity tests, thermal imaging, electromagnetic field measurements, harmonic energy analysis and ventilation or air-conditioning measurements.

Non-destructive examination services include ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, liquid penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, visual inspection, hardness testing and vacuum testing.

Surveillance Services

Surveillance services can be used to verify whether goods comply with agreed specifications and contractual requirements. This is particularly relevant in import and export transactions where quantity, quality, packaging, labeling and loading conditions may need to be checked.

Depending on the scope of the assignment, TÜRCERT states that it can provide documentation such as material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, non-conformity reports, non-destructive examination reports and hydrostatic test reports.

The stated surveillance and measurement activities include workplace environmental measurements, air microbiology, cleanroom testing, VOC measurements, noise exposure measurements, dust measurements, vibration measurements, thermal comfort, lighting, chemical exposure and ambient air-quality measurements.

Testing and Analysis

Testing and analysis are important tools for determining whether products and production environments meet applicable technical and quality requirements.

TÜRCERT’s stated testing services include:

• LVD low-voltage testing
• EMC electromagnetic compatibility testing
• Air microbiology testing
• Cleanroom testing

Depending on the product and technical requirements, electrical equipment may also undergo insulation, high-voltage, leakage-current and protective-earth continuity tests.

Cleanroom testing is particularly relevant in controlled manufacturing environments where air quality, temperature, humidity, pressure and microbiological conditions can affect product quality and safety.

Quality and Management System Training

TÜRCERT also provides training intended to help companies understand and implement management systems and certification requirements.

The stated training portfolio includes ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, ISO 27001, ISO 10002, ISO 50001 and GMP-related subjects.

The training approach covers the purpose and structure of the relevant standard, its principles and requirements, and practical considerations for establishing, implementing and maintaining the system within an organization.
