  2. What CertificeerWijzer does

Through CertificeerWijzer you will find 32 certification bodies. They offer the same ISO standards, but differ considerably in price, approach and expertise. Yet for most companies it is a mystery which one is right for them. CertificeerWijzer is changing that.

The problem: an opaque market

Suppose you want to become ISO 9001 certified. Or ISO 27001, or NEN 7510. You google around and find dozens of providers. They all promise quality, reliability and "care-free". But what are the real differences?

  • What does it cost with certification body A versus B?
  • Who has experience in your sector?
  • Which one suits a small company, which one suits a multinational?

This information is difficult to find. Certification bodies rarely publish their rates. Comparisons do not exist. And when you call for a quote, you get a sales pitch.

What CertificeerWijzer does

CertificeerWijzer collects information about all active certification bodies in the Netherlands and makes it comparable. No sales pitches, no "contact us for a quote". Simply: these are the facts.

On the platform you will find:

  • All certification bodies in the Netherlands at a glance
  • Which standards they certify (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, VCA, and more)
  • Filters to search by sector, company size or standard
  • Practical information about what certification costs and how it works

Who is this for?

CertificeerWijzer helps two groups:

Starters - You want to certify for the first time and are looking for an overview. Which certification bodies are there? What are the differences? What should you pay attention to?

Changers - You already have a certification body but are not satisfied. You want to know what alternatives there are and how switching works.
