BorealCert International AB

Independent certification body headquartered in Stockholm, specialised in remote assessment and certification of management systems against ISO standards.

Who we are

BorealCert International AB is a third-party certification body registered in Sweden. Since 2014 we have assessed the management systems of organisations in more than 40 countries, using a fully remote operating model that lets us audit with the same technical rigour while removing travel costs and delays.

Our activity follows the principles of the international standard ISO/IEC 17021-1, which governs the competence, consistency and impartiality requirements of bodies that audit and certify management systems.

Mission

To issue trustworthy certificates that build confidence between organisations and their customers, contributing to safer, more transparent and more efficient markets through rigorous, independent and accessible assessment.

Values

  • Impartiality: the certification decision is made by a committee independent of the audit team; we do not provide implementation consultancy to the organisations we certify.
  • Competence: lead auditors qualified by scheme and sector, with verifiable continuing education.
  • Confidentiality: we handle our clients' information under strict security policies and the GDPR.
  • Transparency: fixed pricing, public certification criteria and a certificate register anyone can verify.
  • Accountability: a complaints and appeals procedure available to any interested party.

Independence and impartiality

Trust in a certificate depends on the independence of its issuer. Therefore:

  • BorealCert does not offer management system consultancy or internal audits to its certification clients.
  • The certification decision belongs to a committee separate from the team that performed the audit.
  • An impartiality committee, with representation of interested parties, annually oversees conflicts of interest and the application of our policies.
  • We analyse commercial and personal relationships that could compromise impartiality before accepting each engagement.
