SGS Latvija Ltd. was founded in Latvia as a member of the SGS Group (SGS Societe Generale de Surveillance SA) in 1992. The national head office is located in Riga and our branch offices are located in Ventspils & Liepaja.

The core services offered by SGS can be divided into three categories:

Inspection Services SGS inspects and verifies the quantity, weight and quality of traded goods. Inspection typically takes place at the manufacturer’s/supplier’s premises or at time of loading or at destination during discharge/off-loading.

Testing Services SGS tests product quality and performance against various health, safety and regulatory standards. SGS operates state of the art laboratories on or close to customers' premises.

Certification Services SGS certifies that products, systems or services meet the requirements of standards set by governments (e.g. GOST R), standardization bodies (e.g. ISO 9000) or by SGS customers. SGS also develops and certifies its own standards.
