Professional Services and Trade

Professional Services and Trade cover a wide range of sectors in both the public and private domains. This includes government and trade services involved in securing imports and facilitating exports, as well as professional fields like legal services, education, translations, and specialized business support. From small and midsize businesses to large enterprises, we provide auditing, verification, and certification solutions designed to enhance compliance globally. Our extensive network enables rapid inspection, certification, and valuation services that assist countries in raising their economic profile, safeguarding their citizens, and protecting the environment.

Industry specific auditing and certifications solutions 

Kiwa provides certification and verification services across a wide range of industries, supporting the professional services and trade sectors. Our core management system certifications include ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management, and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety. Additionally, we offer comprehensive verification services that facilitate export, import, and global trade, ensuring products and services meet safety, regulatory, and quality standards across borders. These services help businesses meet international requirements, protect supply chains, and enhance their competitiveness in global markets.

Digitalization and sustainability solutions

Kiwa offers tailored solutions to support organizations in professional services and trade with secure digital practices and environmental responsibility. For suppliers to governments and critical sectors, compliance with the NIS2 Directive is becoming increasingly important. Kiwa helps demonstrate this compliance through certifications based on ISO 27001:2022, which provides the foundation for information security management, along with ISO 27017:2015 and ISO 27018:2019, which cover cloud security and personal data protection. Other standards such as ISO 27701:2019 for privacy management and ISO 42001:2021 for governing digital innovation help organizations further strengthen digital resilience.

On the environmental front, we support organizations with ISO 14064-1:2018 and ISO 14068:2023, which focus on greenhouse gas management and carbon neutrality. By implementing these standards, organizations involved in professional services and trade can comply with regulations, reduce environmental impact, enhance their resilience, and build trusted relationships with governments, clients, and communities worldwide.

So why Kiwa?

Kiwa truly values the merit of technical leadership to drive not only the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) industry forward, but the industries of our clients also. As a result, we are involved in a number of technical committees in order to steer the direction of industries, and ensure that our customers' voices are heard.
