What is the AENOR N Mark for sustainability?

The AENOR N Sustainable Mark is the first sustainability certification in Spain. It was designed to drive the transformation of industry sectors towards a greater commitment to sustainability, in environmental, social and governance aspects.

It is based on the AENOR N Mark quality certification, with the addition of European sustainability criteria (Level (s)). AENOR analyses at least 20 indicators and the result is a numerical index that reflects the sustainable commitment, it is assessable over time and promotes continuous improvement in the sector.

Developers, builders, associations and consumers trust that their products meet the quality, safety and durability requirements laid down in the standards, in addition to the mandatory CE marking for products subject to European directives or regulations.

This sustainability certification is a key element in the process of manufacturers adapting to the guidelines of European strategies in terms of sustainability, and it is in line with the requirements for accessing Next Generation European Funds.

The AENOR N mark for certified products:

It is a symbol awarded by AENOR as an independent entity and a leaderin certification.
It is a mark that is recognised and highly regarded by all society, in the public and private sectors, and makes it easier to market more than 100,000 certified products worldwide.
It is a particularly valuable guarantee for the end customer or user in the case of products not subject to the CEmarking.
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: standards and technical specifications, certification procedures (frequency of audits, inspections and tests) and specificities applicable to each product family.
