Skilled and versatile service counter for the GWW

For Normec, leading specialist in testing, inspection, certification and compliance, InfraTech 2025 is the perfect event to highlight the strong growth and development that the organization is currently undergoing. This will be done at stand 6.302, among other things through the presentation of Normec Certification and Normec QS, two important business units that are also firmly established within the infrastructure sector. 

While most companies now know the need to operate in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, the big question often remains how to organize and guarantee this in daily practice. As part of Normec, Normec Certification, based in Geldermalsen, and Normec QS, based in Bennekom, are happy to provide the answer. This is done with practical and usable certification solutions that reveal the impact of business operations on the environment and at the same time offer tools for successful, safe and environmentally responsible operations. And that is not only beneficial for the planet and wallet. Drawing on the expertise of both companies also increases competitiveness and places a favorable footprint on the next generation(s). 

One-stop shop

As the largest certification body in the Netherlands in the areas of quality, environment and safety, Normec Certification is happy to lend a helping hand to market parties around their certification processes. With a well thought-out one-stop-shop concept, the knowledge partner in certification focuses on sustainability and the reduction of environmentally harmful aspects. A focus that ensures crystal-clear insight into the environmental impact of business processes and a firm grip on the matter. "Whatever the question or need, you can come to us for all certifications that are relevant in the GWW sector," says Arjen Werkmeester, commercial director within Normec Certification. "You can think of ISO 9001, BRL SIKB, the environmental management system ISO 14001, the CO2 performance ladder and ISO 27001, the international standard in the field of information security. But also to the Safety Checklist Contractor, with which the entrepreneur lays the foundation for safe, healthy and sustainable work in various areas, and the Safety Culture Ladder. The latter is a more than valuable addition to the SCC and, because of the Governance Code Safety in Construction, is increasingly considered a requirement." 

Prime

Normec QS, part of Normec since 2021, as an accredited, independent and recognized inspection body, has all the expertise around soil-specific issues. And like Normec Certification, it offers a complete range of services. "We qualify the business risks involved in the chain and then help the customer minimize them," said Richard Költgen, OBAS specialist on behalf of Normec QS. "The focus here is on demonstrable compliance with national and international laws, regulations and standards." At the same time, the supporting data from the testing, inspection and certification services offered contributes to the strategic shaping of asset management and quality management. A nice extra that Normec QS customers can fully benefit from. Especially after the entry into force of the new Environment Act and the Living Environment Activities Decree. "With regard to the latter, the new regulations mean that all previous activity decrees have expired and there is now one decree: the Decree on activities in the living environment, or Bal," says Richard. "During InfraTech we will be happy to tell you more about it."
