The Certification market has seen steady growth in line with growth in the world economy since 2008 and 2015, when QHSE standards were last revised.This is due to the fact that Certification covers a wide variety of sectors and has a significant development potential on account of a still-low penetration rate in the corporate market.
Certification is also a very resilient market. Most contracts run on a three-year cycle, with an initial audit phase during the first year and further audits carried out during annual or semi-annual supervisory visits in the following two years. The certification process is generally renewed by the client for a new cycle after a period of three years.
The average attrition rate observed for these three-year certification missions is low. It is less than 10%and mostly reflects clients who have discontinued their business, who no longer seek to be active in the markets for which certification was required or who have reduced and consolidated their numerous certification programs into one single program.
