Everything
Idela certifies

Most CBs make you manage CE and DCC separately. Idela handles both, because DCC requires a valid CE certificate as its foundation — so you should not need two separate companies to get there.

Why Idela

Enterprise expertise.
SME service.

01
No consulting conflicts
We certify. We do not sell implementation services. Our assessments are independent, made strictly to IASME standards. No conflict of interest, no box-ticking.
02
One of the first DCC CBs in the UK
Idela is one of a small number of CBs authorised to certify at DCC Level 0 and Level 1. The market is new — we are ahead of it.
03
Readiness-first, every time
We identify gaps before formal assessment begins. No surprise failures, no weeks of back-and-forth. This is how enterprise organisations operate — and what SMEs deserve.
04
Transparent pricing, published upfront
No “contact us for a quote” unless the scope genuinely requires it. You know what you are paying before anything starts.
