Partnerships & Recognition

Recognized, used and prescribed by the most demanding players on the market

IRICE develops its certifications in direct collaboration with local authorities, investors and private players committed to the ecological transition. This recognition underpins our legitimacy and testifies to the reliability of our standards.

Regulatory and international recognition

Accreditation based on impartiality

IRICE is accredited by the Cofrac (Accreditation for certification of products, processes and services, no. 5-0655, scope available at www.cofrac.fr).

🛑 IRICE does not provide any support for the projects it certifies. This strict separation between assessment and consultancy is a regulatory requirement, guaranteeing the independence of our certification.
