You produce goods, carry out projects and work according to certain processes. How do you ensure that these comply with the relevant quality standards, requirements and legal obligations? Inspection by Kiwa can help you reduce risks, control quality, verify quantity and comply with legal requirements. It makes the invisible visible and helps you prepare for the unexpected.
Below you will find an overview of our services in the field of inspection.
Whether mandatory or voluntary, inspections provide essential data that you can use to ensure the quality, safety, efficiency and optimal functioning of your equipment and organization. The information provided by inspections is valuable and offers early warnings for future problems. This allows you to avoid costs and prevent accidents and emergencies. Inspections therefore inspire confidence: in your employees, production processes and assets, and in your impact on your environment.
Our inspection services include all kinds of research, measurement, calibration and comparison of materials or items. We inspect practically everything, from small measuring equipment to powerful pressure vessels. We conduct inspections at every level, ranging from design review, installation and production to modernization, maintenance and inspections during use or in batches. In this way, we determine the condition of a particular material, item, process or situation and whether or not it complies with applicable or specified requirements, regulations and standards.
Kiwa can inspect almost anything for you, both on-site and remotely. Our skilled and experienced inspectors around the world operate in a wealth of expert areas. Here are just a few examples of areas in which we are active.

Independent inspection helps you certify the quality and quantity of products you want to import or export. In most cases, these inspections are carried out prior to shipment, sometimes based on (local) regulations. They ensure that goods meet technical specifications and quality standards, and that their quantity is accurate.
Batch inspection means that we assess random samples from a production batch and then assess the entire batch based on the results of the sample inspection.
Here are a few reasons to have your products, processes, installations or a situation inspected regularly.

Our inspections map the integrity of your products, processes and/or installations. We inspect them for functionality, safety and environmental impact.

As you improve the quality, reliability and efficiency of your goods, systems, installations or a situation and have them inspected according to rules and regulations, your customers will have a better customer journey or experience. This way, you improve their satisfaction in both the short and long term.
Kiwa acts as a strictly independent third party when we inspect your products, (raw) materials, installations or anything else. We are also regularly 'inspected' ourselves by national and European accreditation bodies. Kiwa is a Notified Body (NoBo) for many European directives: we are authorized by a national accreditation body to carry out inspections in accordance with international standards. This is how we close the circle, and provide trust and certainty.
