Ohmi EuroCert

What Ohmi EuroCert does

ÖHMI EuroCert GmbH is a DAkkS-accredited certification body headquartered in Magdeburg, Germany, with a satellite office in Berlin. The company operates as the certification arm of the ÖHMI Aktiengesellschaft group and conducts audits and certifications across ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety), ISO 50001 (energy), ISO 27001 (information security with IT-Sicherheitskatalog per §11 Abs. 1a EnWG for energy grid operators), AZAV/SGB III (employment promotion), EfbV (waste management), GMP+ (feed safety), REDcert (biomass sustainability), and DIN EN 15224 (healthcare). Recognition from DAkkS, BLE, and GMP+ International underpins the company's authority to issue legally meaningful certificates. Seven primary B2B segments are served: manufacturing and industrial enterprises, environmental/sustainability-focused organizations, energy utilities and critical infrastructure operators, the feed and food supply chain, employment and education service providers, healthcare and nursing facilities, and contractor/safety-critical industries.

The service platform centers on integrated management system (IMS) certifications that bundle multiple standards under a unified High Level Structure audit framework, reducing client cost and audit time. The company is conducting an R&D project ("AuTo Release 2.0" FuE-Projekt) exploring AI-assisted auditing for management systems. Revenue is generated through professional services billed per person-day (1 person-day = 8 working hours), with multi-year certification cycles — most notably a 5-year AZAV cycle with annual surveillance audits, and ISO standards requiring annual surveillance. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via phone, email, fax, and online contact forms, supplemented by content marketing (whitepapers, flyers, newsletters, seminars). No channel partners or resellers are used.

The company operates primarily in Germany with audits conducted in Bulgaria via the related entity ÖHMI Bulgaria OOD. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Strategic focus is currently on managing three simultaneous standard transitions (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by 31 October 2025, DIN EN ISO 45001:2023, and the GMP+ Feed Certification Scheme 2020 by 31 August 2024) alongside incremental expansion of its certification portfolio and the AI-assisted auditing R&D initiative.
