About Normwijzer.nl
Normwijzer is a knowledge platform about standards, quality marks and certification in the Netherlands. We help organisations understand what is needed, which steps are involved and which choices they can make themselves.
What you will find here
Our guides cover 35 topics: from ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 to BRCGS, NEN 4400 / SNA and ISO/IEC 17025. These topics do not all work the same way: certification, accreditation, inspection and assurance each have their own meaning.
You will find explanations of requirements, step-by-step plans, costs, preparation and audits. Where possible, we refer to the organisations that manage the standards and schemes. Use those official sources to check the requirements for your situation.
Our principles
- Clear explanations. We explain terms and use practical examples.
- Freely accessible knowledge. You do not need to submit a request to read our articles.
- Visible sources. Standard versions and rules can change. Official publications remain the authority.
- Clear commercial arrangements. Any possible partner fee is explained when we discuss an introduction. Read our way of working.
Help with your situation
You can use the advice form to ask a question about your organisation. The request is free and non-binding. We review the question and discuss whether a next step with a specialist suits you. Normwijzer does not issue certificates or accreditations itself.
Working with us
Do you offer advice, training or independent assessment? Look at the options for partners. There you can share your expertise and working area for an exploratory conversation.
