The Certification

Certification

In a broadly globalized and highly competitive trade fair system, those who participate both as exhibitors and visitors increasingly need to compare, evaluate and choose suitable and optimal trade fair events for their business, documented through reliable and comparable data.

The certification attests that a service or product is in compliance with a specific regulation that establishes its requirements.

The ISFCERT certification system, developed in accordance with the regional regulations relating to the national fair system and the international UFI and ISO protocols, uses a rigorous data collection methodology that allows the most reliable transparency in what fairs have to offer.

The ISFCERT brand thus  becomes a synonym of transparency and guarantee.
