Socotec

SOCOTEC is a European provider of Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) services for the built environment. Founded in 1953, the company works across the full lifecycle of built assets, covering construction, real estate, industry and infrastructure, with the stated aims of ensuring compliance, extending asset lifespan and safeguarding people and infrastructure. It employs over 5,500 experts and operates in 23 countries, including 190 agencies in France.

Its services are organised around five lines: inspection of built assets throughout their lifecycle to ensure compliance and safety; measurement services supporting asset performance and compliance; technical consulting, which the firm describes as deep technical knowledge delivered with local proximity to clients; certification advancing safety, compliance and sustainability; and training that complements the other four. Technical domains span building inspection, measurement, certification, technical consulting, training, asset lifecycle management, compliance and safety assurance, and sustainability.

SOCOTEC states a mission of contributing to a safer, more sustainable and more inclusive city of the future, with values built on integrity, innovation and a commitment to safety and sustainability. The company's stated approach combines technical depth with local presence, and its work is directed at the reliability of built assets for the communities that use them.
