How will your Certificate change?

Bureau Veritas, to offer greater guarantees to its clients on the recognition of certifications issued within the European Community, has decided to extend the coverage of its ACCREDIA accreditation internationally.

In implementing this evolution, the ISO 17021 accreditation certificate of Bureau Veritas Italia S.p.A. for management systems (Number: 00031) will be transferred to a new legal entity of the Bureau Veritas Group: Bureau Veritas Certification Holding SAS Italy Branch (accreditation certificate n° 02138) located at the same address as Bureau Veritas Italia S.p.A.

Following this operation, we will provide our clients with updated certificates. On this occasion, the certificate will be updated at no cost to clients with the new Accredia logo. On December 3, 2024, Accredia presented the graphic update of its logo, as reported on the Accreditation Body's website.

All conditions governing the certification contract between Bureau Veritas Italia S.p.A. and client organizations remain unchanged, as do the commercial, technical, and administrative references within Bureau Veritas Italia.

The certificate will continue to be published with the same identification number in our databases and those of the Accreditation Body, without interruptions.
