Accreditation, certification, and labeling are all systems designed to build confidence among economic actors. These mechanisms aim to verify qualities and standards, but differ in their approach and scope. The article, published on Kapitalis, explores the conceptual distinctions between these three processes. Accreditation typically assesses the competence of conformity assessment bodies, while certification verifies that a product, service, or system meets specific requirements. Labeling, on the other hand, often indicates compliance with particular criteria or standards, frequently related to sustainability or origin. Understanding these differences is crucial for businesses and consumers navigating the marketplace. The piece provides clarity on how each system functions and contributes to overall economic trust.
