FORCE Certification A/S

What FORCE Certification A/S does

FORCE Certification A/S is a Denmark-based, accredited certification body operating as EU Notified Body No. 0200. It delivers four core service lines: product certification (including CE marking, Construction Products Regulation including reinforcement steels and cables, Marine Equipment Directive, RED, EMCD, MID/NAWI, PPE, PED, Lifts, and Outdoor Noise Directive); management system certification (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 50001, 22000, FSSC 22000, AQAP 2110, DS 49001); certification of persons (welders, brazers, NDT operators under ISO 9712, and IIW/EWF welding coordinators); and third-party inspection of pressure equipment, lifts, and tanks/piping. The company has expanded into CO2/GHG verification and CSRD assurance services, positioning it in regulated sustainability reporting. It holds nine DANAK accreditations and more than 11 Notified Body designations under EU directives.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FORCE Technology, a Danish non-profit GTS (Advanced Technology) company approved by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, employing over 1,000 highly qualified staff across Esbjerg, Middelfart, Aalborg, and Brøndby. FORCE Certification A/S operates under strict impartiality rules, refusing consulting engagements and excluding employees who have advised clients from certifying those same clients for two years. An external Certification Committee drawn from authorities, universities, and customers provides governance oversight.

Commercially, the firm runs a sales-led, professional-services model with multi-year contracts, quote-based pricing, and free initial consultations. Marketing is conducted through its website, LinkedIn presence, and direct phone/email engagement rather than digital campaigns. Customers include European steel manufacturers, precast concrete producers, and industrial firms requiring CE marking, ISO certification, and personnel qualification. Revenue, funding, and headcount beyond the 1–10 direct employees are not separately disclosed.
