AENOR N Mark: Benefits of this Product certification

As a compliance assessor, AENOR is a leading product certification entity. With more than 100,000 certified references, the AENOR N Mark , used in over 40 countries, is one of the world's five most popular product quality marks.

Benefits of the AENOR N mark

The AENOR N mark is a voluntary mark that allows a company to certify that their product meets the provisions established in a UNE, EN or ISO standard, or a technical specification. This demonstration of compliance, following a rigorous control process carried out by AENOR during the manufacturing and testing of the final products, will allow manufacturers holding the N mark to market products of the highest quality, and as a result, build trust among users of these certified products.

Specific benefits of the AENOR N mark

The AENOR N mark offers the following benefits:

Benefits for manufacturers:

• It improves the quality of a product thanks to the exhaustive control required by the AENOR N mark certification procedures
• Products that do not comply with relevant standards or regulations can be detected before they enter the market
• Decreases production costs as a result of greater control during the manufacturing process
• It provides commercial grounds for introducing the product into new markets and facilitates the acceptance of the goods in commercial projects
  

Benefits for subscribers and overseeing agents

• Greater security, with the knowledge that the product has been verified and complies with the requirements laid down in the pertinent standards
  
• It reduces or eliminates on-site reception tests and, as a result, reduces project execution time
• It delivers long-term reliable products thanks to continuous product assessments, which guarantee compliance during the term of the certified provisions
  

Benefits for Public Administrations

• It builds trust in the product as its compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements is verified
• Transparency of the AENOR certification process.
• It aids consensus among stakeholders regarding decisions on certified products
• It guarantees internal and external control of the production process and end products
  

Benefits for the end users:

• Confidence from knowing that the product has undergone prior verification
• Credibility, given that the product has been assessed by a recognised and independent certification body​
  
• Review of the processing of and response to all claims submitted to companies regarding products certified with the AENOR N mark
• Control of any misuse of the AENOR N mark, thus avoiding misunderstandings (unlike the market surveillance of CE certificates, the responsibility of which lies with the member countries, and in the case of Spain, with the pertinent Autonomous Communities given that this is transferred responsibility)
