What teams say about Certko
A fresh selection of client stories each visit.
“We needed BEE star labelling and BIS CRS on the same SKU. Certko sequenced both so lab tests weren’t repeated — saved weeks and a second sample batch.”
“Our listings were at risk after a QCO update. Certko confirmed the exact IS number, booked the lab and got us the certificate before enforcement — no delisting.”
