• The Aquacert certification was developed in 2003 in response to the proliferation of regulations and control points within services based on water and intended for consumption or to human health.

  This certification has been officially developed by focusing on the process control products and derivatives based on thermal water, implemented as part of health care.

  Entrusted to specialist-expert auditors, this certification scheme is already developing very rapidly in the French medical spa sector (Avène, La Roche-Posay, Vichy, Dax, Balaruc-Les-Bains, La Bourboule, Chaudes-Aigues, Vittel…). In the international landscape, it unifies the health risks of management systems of institutions delivering products or services based on water and intended for consumption or for human health. Thus, it helps make them more readable commitments and recognition by consumers.
