NanoVerify Sdn Bhd

What NanoVerify Sdn Bhd does

NanoVerify Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian private certification body that operates the NANOVerify Programme — Malaysia's only accredited scheme for verifying nanotechnology products (1–100nm particle range). Established on 11 August 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of government-linked NanoMalaysia Berhad (under MOSTI), the company holds the distinction of being the world's first ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification body for nano products, a credential secured on 20 March 2024. The company runs a three-tier certification portfolio: NANOVerify (Type 5, flagship, line audit + ISO 17025 lab testing for manufacturers and large enterprises); NANOTrust (Type 2, SME-friendly, finished-product testing for distributors and importers); and GRAPHENEVerify (specialised for graphene and 2D-material products). All three programmes route applicants through a defined five-stage process (application → due diligence → certification unit processing → laboratory testing at 7 ISO 17025 labs and/or Type 5 on-site evaluation → approval committee decision), with blockchain-issued tamper-proof certificates.

The technology base is founded on conventional nano-characterisation methods — particle size analysis, electron microscopy imaging, and elemental composition analysis — performed at 7 ISO 17025 accredited partner laboratories. Digital touches include blockchain certificate authentication, an online product directory at directory.nanoverify.com.my, and self-serve application downloads. Mutually recognised with Thailand's TANIDA NanoMark (since 2 April 2018) and anchored by inclusion in the National Nanotechnology Policy 2021–2030, the company serves as Malaysia's national instrument for building consumer trust in nanotechnology and enabling cross-border trade for nano-products.

The revenue model is a mix of recurring annual subscription fees from certification (RM10,000/year size-based and RM12,500/year functionality-based) and professional services revenue from in-house and partner-lab characterisation testing. Pricing is transparent, fixed, and RM-denominated, with double tax deduction eligibility under Malaysian R&D investment schemes for the Type 5 tier. Distribution is hybrid: enterprise field sales for large manufacturers, inside sales for SMEs, a self-serve online channel with downloadable application forms, and a strategic channel through the parent NanoMalaysia Berhad for government-backed enterprise outreach. As of 2025, the company has certified 280+ products across 10 industry sectors (highest revenue uplift among certified companies is pharmaceutical at +168%, average +75% across all sectors), counts 151 certified companies, and operates from a single headquarters in Kuala Lumpur with a stated vision of becoming the reference certification body for nano products in ASEAN by 2025.

Core offering

NanoVerify is Malaysia's only accredited certification body for nanotechnology products, operating the NANOVerify Programme since 2015. It offers three certification schemes: NANOVerify (Type 5, comprehensive with line audits and ISO 17025 lab testing for manufacturers), NANOTrust (Type 2, streamlined for SMEs and importers), and GRAPHENEVerify (specialised for graphene and 2D materials). Certifications include manufacturing facility audits, nano-characterisation testing at 7 accredited labs, and blockchain-powered tamper-proof certificate issuance under ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation.

Product overview

NanoVerify Sdn Bhd operates a multi-tier certification portfolio for nanotechnology products in Malaysia and ASEAN. The NANOVerify Programme serves as the flagship Type 5 certification offering comprehensive line audits and ISO 17025 accredited laboratory testing for manufacturers and large enterprises. NANOTrust provides a streamlined Type 2 certification pathway designed specifically for SMEs, distributors, and importers seeking cost-effective verification. GRAPHENEVerify is a specialized programme for graphene and 2D material-based products, pioneering certification in advanced materials. All three schemes share a common accredited process but differ in testing depth, cost structure, and target market segments.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: International testing, inspection, and certification group operating accredited laboratories and certification schemes globally. Comparable in offering third-party accredited certification services to manufacturers, though not specialised in nanotechnology.
• NSF International: Public health and safety organisation providing accredited testing and certification services. Similar third-party certification body model with strong consumer brand recognition, comparable in serving manufacturers seeking credibility marks, though operating in different product categories.
• Eurofins Scientific: International bioanalytical testing and certification group with extensive laboratory networks. Comparable in operating accredited testing facilities and offering third-party certification-adjacent services, though focused on food, environment, pharma, and cosmetics testing rather than nano-characterisation.
• Intertek: Global ATIC (Assurance, Testing, Inspection, Certification) provider with extensive laboratory capabilities. Direct business model parallel to NanoVerify's certification-as-a-service offering, though focused on broader industrial verticals rather than nanotechnology specialty.
• SGS Group: World's largest testing, inspection, and certification company. Operates ISO 17025 accredited labs and ISO 17065 certification schemes across many industries, providing the same general business model as NanoVerify but at vastly greater scale and breadth.
• TÜV Rheinland: Global testing, inspection, and certification giant. Comparable to NanoVerify as a third-party product testing and certification body, though TÜV operates across thousands of categories rather than specialising in nanotechnology. Represents the type of broad incumbent that could enter nano certification as the category matures.
• UL (Underwriters Laboratories): Global safety science organisation that certifies products and operates accredited testing labs. Comparable to NanoVerify's product certification business model with a well-recognised trust mark (UL Listed), though focused on safety standards rather than nano-specific characterisation.

Direct peers

• TANIDA (Thailand Nanotechnology Industry Development Association): Thailand's national nanotechnology industry body that operates the NanoMark certification programme. Most direct peer to NanoVerify, offering nano-product certification in an adjacent ASEAN market. Existing mutual recognition partnership makes this the closest comparable for cross-border competition and cooperation.

Others

• ASTM International: International standards development organisation, not a certification body, but relevant peer because NanoVerify's ISO 17065 scheme relies on standards and ASTM develops nano-material standards. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler for materials testing protocols that NanoVerify's GRAPHENEVerify and NANOVerify programmes reference.

Emerging players

• The Graphene Council: Industry association and verification body for the graphene supply chain. Comparable to NanoVerify's GRAPHENEVerify programme as an emerging player in graphene product verification, though the Graphene Council focuses more on supplier verification than end-product certification.
