Everything about NF525 !
An easy process.

Since January 2018, all retailers are required to use compliant software to prevent any fraud. POS software have to meet some criteria to show that they are compliant with the law and meets the NF525 requirements.
The process of certification starts with a contact request, if you wish to receive a quotation for an initial audit of certification we’ll need you to send us back an identification sheet. Once this will be done we will send you your quotation.

If you decide to engage in the certification process, once the administrative formalities will be completed we will be able to send you your rules of certification and if needed, an attestation of actual progress, that will help you justify to Tax Administration or to potential clients that you’re engaged in the certification process and that you should reach compliance soon.
Following your registration to the certification process, you’ll able to participate in a dedicated half-day training that will help you start working efficiently on the integration of the certification rules in your software.

Once the certification rules will be integrated in your software, we will be able to plan together the date of your certification audit.
The audit can be carried out by one or more auditors and you will then receive a report with the list of deviations, if any, that must be corrected.
The audit takes place at your premises and travel and accommodation costs will be invoiced according to the costs actually incurred by the auditor *.
The deviations found may be of several types: Points of vigilance, minor non-conformities and major non-conformities.
Depending on their nature, we may consider an additional check to verify the lifting of the deviations.

Following all the checks, INFOCERT suggests AFNOR Certification to take a certification decision: certification agreement or certification refusal.
In some cases the certification agreement may be conditioned to an additional check, failing which, the certificate will be suspended.
In case of a certification agreement, your certificate will be issued, accessible on our dedicated website and sent to you by email.
