The Kitemark is a product and service certification mark that is owned and issued by BSI. As such they offer the best independent and impartial product or service quality mark available. Kitemark schemes are voluntary and so demonstrate a commitment to quality offering peace of mind for the industry, the consumer and the specifier.
To achieve Kitemark certification a manufacturer is required to have a comprehensive quality management system, based on ISO 9001:2000 or recognized factory production control system, combined with initial product type testing and regular audit testing. Once achieved, the Kitemark can serve as an enhanced marketing tool in a competitive market, by demonstrating an ongoing commitment to quality and safety.
BSI is proud of owning the Kitemark, and with good reason. It is one of the most well known and respected product certification quality marks in the world. Regular UK consumer surveys tell us that 88% of the British public trust the Kitemark as a symbol of quality and safety. What's more, 75% of them believe that the Kitemark makes it easier to choose between products.
