Industry & Enterprises

Application of the CIFA Certification System in Industrial and Corporate Structures

 

Companies and industrial organizations in the CIFA system

 

Industry & Enterprises encompasses economic, industrial and organizational structures related to cosmetic and aesthetic professions.

​

This Application Area serves the institutional classification of companies and organizations that bear responsibility for quality, standards, processes and ethical frameworks within the industry.

 

 

Classification within the certification

 

Industry & Enterprises certification is carried out exclusively at the institutional level.

​

The focus is not on evaluating individual products, brands or services, but on the structural quality, governance and accountability of the organization as a whole.
