Kitemark assurance
When manufacturers say their product conforms to certain standards, the claims may well be unfounded. For absolute certainty the product assembly process should be independently assessed and verified. BSI inspectors carry out a thorough assessment of manufacturers' facilities, quality management systems and products or services prior to issuing Kitemark licence certification. The Kitemark symbol is recognised and respected as the ultimate sign of quality compliance standards. The BSI assessment verifies the highest possible levels of product quality assurance.
