CERTIFICATION DE PRODUITS INDUSTRIELS

La certification est un levier de commercialisation des produits industriels, c'est-à-dire des équipements conçus pour un usage industriel et professionnel, et non destinés aux consommateurs.

Votre passeport pour les marchés

Commercialiser des équipements industriels dans plusieurs pays est un exercice complexe. Les fabricants doivent s'adapter à des règlementations changeantes, démontrer la sécurité et la performance de leurs produits, et garantir leur conformité à chaque étape, de la conception à la mise en service.

La certification n'est pas une simple exigence : c'est un levier stratégique. Elle vous permet de réduire les risques, d'accélérer la mise sur le marché de vos produits et d'accéder à de nouveaux marchés en toute confiance.

Grâce à une approche globale couvrant la revue de conception, les tests, l'inspection et le marquage, Bureau Veritas vous accompagne tout au long du cycle de vie de vos produits. Notre réseau mondial, associé à une expertise réglementaire locale, garantit que vos équipements répondent aux exigences de chaque marché sur lequel ils sont exploités.

Des équipements sous pression aux machines industrielles en passant par les systèmes de transport et les infrastructures ferroviaires, nous vous aidons à intégrer les exigences de conformité dès les premières phases du projet, à simplifier le processus de certification et à avancer en toute confiance.

Avec plus de 100 licences d'exploitation (LTO) et 150 ans d'expérience, nous sommes un partenaire industriel indépendant et de confiance.

    Pressure equipment includes, among others, vessels, piping, valves, boilers, refrigerating units, and safety loops. These components operate under extreme conditions where even minor faults can have major safety, environmental , and financial consequences.

    High safety stakes and evolving regulatory requirements mean that equipment certification plays a pivotal role in this sector. By working with manufacturers and engineering, procurement, and construction companies, we ensure that compliance is built from the design stage. 

  • MACHINERY & ADVANCED MANUFACTURING SERVICES

    Manufacturing equipment is becoming increasingly smart, digitally integrated, and connected.

    Manufacturing equipment is becoming increasingly smart, digitally integrated, and connected. As machinery continues to merge with critical infrastructure, and technological innovations enhance efficiency, there are new avenues for business growth, and new opportunities for manufacturers.

    At the same time, certification is adapting to ensure safety, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance as equipment increasingly assimilates robotics, AI and IoT.

  • TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS

    Products in circulation today travel in over 45 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of in-service dry and refrigerated units, and 900,000 tank containers.

    Products in circulation today travel in over 45 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of in-service dry and refrigerated units, and 900,000 tank containers. As goods move across borders, certification allows manufacturers, operators, and shippers to demonstrate the integrity, quality, and safety of containers.

    We help shipping companies, container-leasing companies, operators and container manufacturers operate successfully in this highly-regulated environment. In addition, we are the only certification body providing Approval Continuous Examination Program (ACEP) globally.

  • RAILWAY & MOBILITY

    Across the world, railway and mobility systems are modernizing their infrastructure, expanding high-speed and conventional networks, and integrating advanced digital systems into daily operations.

    Across the world, railway and mobility systems are modernizing their infrastructure, expanding high-speed and conventional networks, and integrating advanced digital systems into daily operations. This transformation directly affects vehicle builders and the wider industry of system integrators and infrastructure providers.

    Certification now goes beyond components, track systems, traction and electrical equipment, and signaling systems. It includes digital technologies and software such as train control, platform screen doors, embedded systems, and advanced cybersecurity features. Through strategic investments in modernization and certification, manufacturers and operators can reach higher standards and earn greater public trust.
