GCERTI offers accredited certification for beach services
GCERTI Italy | Società Benefit provides UNI ISO 13009:2018 service certification under Accredia accreditation, assessing the applicable requirements for beach operations and visitor services.
Its offer also includes UNI/PdR 125 for gender equality, UNI/PdR 192 for the reconciliation of family and working life, ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.
According to Osservatorio Costiero’s analysis dated 30 September 2026, the draft model tender for beach concessions indicates up to 2 points for the overall criterion covering relevant voluntary certifications issued by accredited bodies. UNI ISO 13009 and UNI/PdR 125 are among the examples. This is not a separate 2-point award for each certificate. The draft may change, and actual scoring will depend on the tender issued by the granting authority.
Certification provides third-party evidence of service and management quality; it does not guarantee a successful bid.
Beach concessions and the draft certification scoring criterion
The draft model tender for beach concessions links relevant voluntary certifications to technical evaluation. Osservatorio Costiero’s article of 30 September 2026 reports an indicative maximum of 2 points for the certification criterion, mentioning UNI ISO 13009, UNI 11911 and UNI/PdR 125.
This maximum concerns the overall criterion, not each certificate. The text is still a draft and may change; operators must check the final rules of the individual tender.
