What it is
DNV is an international assurance and certification body. Alongside its origins in maritime and energy, it provides management-system certification and product assurance across sectors.
Why it matters for compliance
DNV’s relevance to product compliance includes management-system certification — for example to standards like ISO 9001 (quality) and, for the compliance function itself, ISO 37301 (compliance management) — as well as product assurance. Certified systems support the governance side of a credible compliance programme.
How to use it
- Use it for management-system certification (quality, compliance) where useful.
- Use product assurance/certification to support customer requirements.
- Combine with product testing for the full conformity picture.
Good to know
Management-system certification supports how you run compliance; product conformity still rests on the applicable product legislation and harmonised standards.
