The Kitemark® is the world's premier symbol of trust, integrity and quality. Manufacturers having this associated with their product or service will reassure customers and specifiers alike that they have satisfied the most rigorous of quality processes.
A Kitemark® scheme can be developed using a publicly available specification. This specification can either be a BS, EN, ISO or a Trade Association specification.
Based on this specification, BSI produces the formal scheme protocol that forms the backbone of the certification.
Kitemark® schemes have been running since 1902 and now cover a wide variety of products and services, from electrical contractors to double glazed windows and from printed circuit boards to cattle tags.
In competitive markets, the Kitemark® is often used as a point of differentiation, reassuring customers that the company in question has an ongoing commitment to quality and safety.
