What International Certification Group does

International Certification Group (ICG) is a private limited liability company headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia, founded in 2010 and operating as the regional representative of EUROCERT – European Inspection and Certification Company S.A. (Athens, Greece, Notified Body 1128). Its core business is third-party conformity assessment: it issues management system certifications across ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 22000, 45001, 13485 and adjacent standards, product certifications including CE marking under EU directives (CPR, ATEX, PED, machinery, lifts, railway interoperability, EN 1090), and food/agriculture schemes (HACCP, FSSC 22000, IFS Food, GLOBALG.A.P., ISCC). Services are delivered through the EUROCERT distribution channel spanning 40+ countries and 500+ auditors, alongside direct enterprise sales across verticals such as manufacturing, food, healthcare, construction, energy, and the service sector.

The company has expanded beyond certification into two adjacent technology practices. First, it develops and maintains regulatory information systems, notably ALIMS (Serbia) and ALMBiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina) for medical device regulation, and provides custom software development, ISO/IEC 12207 and 25010 software certification, business process automation, and API integration services. Second, it operates an on-premises AI platform with private LLM deployment and AIaaS, offering NLP, computer vision, predictive analytics, and AI system governance services aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act. Revenue is generated through recurring certification engagements (multi-year audit cycles), project-based IT and AI professional services, and structured training programs delivered via in-house sessions, online/webinars, and the ICG Academy. Pricing is custom-quoted by scope and complexity and is not publicly disclosed.

The business model relies on three reinforcing moats: (1) the regulatory authority granted via EUROCERT's Notified Body 1128 status and multiple accreditations (ESYD, UKAS, SAAS), (2) distribution access through the EUROCERT network, and (3) a verticalized service portfolio that combines certification, IT systems, and AI capability in tightly regulated sectors. ICG holds no disclosed outside investors, operates with 11-50 employees, and reports no revenue figures in available materials.
