What is the AENOR N mark for certified products?

The process we carry out at AENOR for certifying products with the AENOR N Mark shows that an organisation, product, process, or service meets the requirements defined in certain applicable standards or technical specifications, and is recognised as such by an independent entity such as AENOR.

The AENOR N mark provides a distinguishing factor in the market, improving the image of the products and services offered, and building trust among customers and consumers:

• Trust in the organisation itself and in the clients, shareholders, employees, public administrations and social environment of the company.
• Trust in the quality and safety of its products and services.
  

The AENOR N mark for certified products:

• Is a symbol awarded by AENOR as an independent entity and a leader in certification.
• Is a mark that is recognised and highly regarded by all society, whether public or private users, and makes it easier to market more than 100,000 certified products worldwide.
• Is not mandatory. Manufacturers can voluntarily submit their products to be fully assessed by AENOR in order to objectively guarantee to companies and consumers that they comply with the quality and safety requirements set forth in the relevant regulations for each product.
• It is complementary to the mandatory CE mark for products subject to European Directives or Regulations.
• It represents a guarantee that is particularly valuable for the end customer or user in the case of products not subject to said CE mark.
• It supplies the market with products that exceed the basic requirements of the regulatory CE mark and the minimum quality standards. This is the case in certain sectors, such as low-voltage electrical devices in general (except for cables) and certain non-structural construction products, where the manufacturer itself declares compliance with the standards. This makes the voluntary product certification with the AENOR N mark even more meaningful, since the products are subjected to strict controls and tests before they are certified by AENOR.

To certify each product, AENOR develops a specific certification system, which establishes the requirements the product must comply with: the standards and technical specifications, the certification procedures and the applicable particularities of each.

Generating trust among companies and consumers

The Sustainable N Mark of AENOR, the natural evolution of the N Mark applied to sustainability, is the first and only sustainability certification in Spain that has been conceived to drive the transformation of industrial sectors towards a greater commitment to sustainability in three areas: environmental, social and governance matters.

Based on the AENOR N Mark certification voluntarily requested by companies, the AENOR N Sustainable Mark adds to these requirements the Level(s) European sustainability criteria in the building.
