p) NF (Norme Française) mark

The NF mark is an official French quality mark,
issued by the Association Française de
Normalisation (French Association for
Standardization, AFNOR), which certifies
compliance with the French national standards.
The use of the NF mark has been entrusted to
AFNOR Certification (a subsidiary of the AFNOR
Group).

The NF quality mark is not a trademark as such,
but is a collective certification mark. It carries
undisputable proof that a product satisfies the
safety and/or quality specifications defined within
the corresponding certification standard.

More information is available via www.afnor.org

This standard consists of:

French, European or international standards
Supplementary specifications regarding the

product or service and the quality system in
place in the company as comprised in the
certification rules, specific to each product or
service.

The certification standards are drawn up in
collaboration with all relevant stakeholders:
manufacturers or service providers, trade
organizations, consumers, public authorities and
technical bodies. Compliance with French
standards is mandatory in France for all supply or
construction contracts for public authorities
(government contract).
