Take a look at a concise video below from the FIA that explains Third-Party Certification, designed to be useful for both beginners and experts.
In essence, Third-Party Certification is a consumer protection scheme. It enables the supplier and certificated company to provide proof that your company is competent. Third-Party Certification means that an independent expert, (the third party), has assessed your business and found that it has met certain standards.
It is important that the issue of Third-Party Certification is brought to the attention of all stakeholders. In particular, end-users should familiarise themselves with Third-Party Certification before employing a company because it provides them with protection as a consumer.
As a result, the FIA strongly encourages companies to highlight the importance of Third-Party Certification and its benefits.
