What France Certification does

France Certification is a French professional services firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Quimper, Bretagne, operating as a brand under Trèves Organisation (SARL with €277,600 in share capital). The company provides consulting, training, quality function outsourcing, and internal audit services to help enterprises obtain and maintain ISO certifications and sector-specific standards. Its service portfolio spans more than 45 norms across quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), information security (ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, TISAX), food safety (FSSC 22000, BRC, IFS, HACCP), medical devices (ISO 13485), aerospace (EN 9100, EN 9120), automotive (IATF 16949), nuclear (ISO 19443), health data hosting (HDS), and pharmaceutical distribution (GDP Pharma), as well as French-specific frameworks (Qualiopi, DUERP, RGPD).

The firm operates a four-service delivery model: Formation (training), Accompagnement (end-to-end consulting), Externalisation (outsourced quality function roles), and Audit Interne (internal audits). There is no proprietary software platform; the company's value proposition rests on a team of all-salaried consultants with complementary cross-sector expertise, supported by a 20+ year proprietary accompaniment methodology. Distribution is direct-to-client via the website's quote request flow, a toll-free number (0800 200 268), and regionally-assigned consultants positioning the firm as "Votre consultant proche de chez-vous, partout en France." Pricing is fully quote-based, varying by company size, sector, and number of norms targeted, with multi-year engagements typical for ongoing outsourcing contracts.

The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications (audited by Bureau Veritas) and operates a Qualiopi-certified training center (authorization 53 29 09 27 129). Its client base includes enterprise and government customers across diverse verticals — Electrolux Professional, Dito Sama, Devialet, Alain Afflelou, Airwell, Filpack, Advance Beauty, Aether Financial Services, and the Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères. With approximately 38 employees and no external institutional ownership, France Certification operates as a privately-held, domestically-focused consultancy serving the French ISO certification market.
