OKcert: Why Certification?

• Certification lets you stand out from the crowd of self-claimers.
• And it ensures fair competition between trustworthy players who, incidentally, are largely in support of our certification marks. OKcert: Why Certification?
• Moreover, although you have nothing to hide, you would also prefer your precise product composition not to be disclosed or leaked. You want the control body to have a policy of treating all data 100% confidentially.

This book brings together the sixty-six LinkedIn posts published between 2021 and 2025, with texts that have sometimes been expanded or updated, grouped into a few major themes.
