SGS approved as certifying body for IM recovery companies
Thursday 9 January 2014 (update 22 July 2014)
Stichting Incident Management Nederland has decided to approve SGS Systems and Services Certification as a certifying body for recovery companies. Recovery companies wishing to demonstrate their compliance with the quality requirements imposed by IMN can have their situation examined by SGS. Approval of SGS will be effective, immediately. Alongside Dekra, SGS is now the second party approved by Stichting Incident Management Nederland.
SGS was founded in 1878 in the French seaport of Rouen. Initially the company focused on the verification of grain deliveries by ship. Since that time, the company has grown into one of the world's largest operators in the field of certification and inspection services. In the Netherlands, the company has been responsible since 1994 for the certification of car dismantling companies on behalf of Autorecycling Nederland.
