ControlCert is a privately owned Swedish certification body, specialized in quality, environment, and food safety. The company operates under the supervision of SWEDAC and was founded in the autumn of 2011.
We are approved by Svensk Dagligvaruhandel to certify retail food stores and by Sigill Kvalitetssystem to certify food industry companies. We hold accreditation for organic and KRAV certification, and operate under the authority of the Swedish Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket).
ControlCert also holds international recognition as an accredited certification body for management systems, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSSC (Foundation for Food Safety Certification) for ISO/FSSC 22000.
Our ambition is for ControlCert to be perceived as the natural choice when selecting a certification body. We place great emphasis on the technical expertise and interpersonal skills of our auditors.
Our Runestone
Runic writing was once a way to tell stories about people who had lived and what they had accomplished.
On our runestone, the text is written in the ancient Norse futhark and reads: “Kontrolsert Skandinavia – Ritar Fudir.”
In Old Norse, Ritar Fudir means “real food,” which reflected our main focus when the company was founded — primarily working with food industry businesses. It also represents what we continue to strive for: that our certification and verification services contribute to genuine, trustworthy food — whether packaged or unpackaged.
In the center of the runestone are two C’s, symbolizing ControlCert, and at the top is a crown instead of a cross (as was customary in the past when the Church held authority), signifying that as a certification body, we operate under the authority of the Swedish state (SWEDAC).
