ACCREDITATION

A new area of service activities introduced under the term of  'Accreditation of Works of Art' using adapted principles and concepts already established in the field of accreditation of individuals/animals, vehicles and value items such as documents and branded products is now on offer based on scientifically sound and technological state-of-the art tools.

The backbone of this integrated approach used for registration purposes lies in scientific methods marketed under the proprietary term of UltimateDocumentation^© (UD^©) containing procedures, protocols and techniques arising from impartial Diagnostic Analysis, Raw Data Interpretation and Scientific Documentation applied on invaluable cultural artifacts.

The output of these in-depth studies can be used not only for conservation purposes by databasing the preservation status of unique artworks over time but also for the comparative verification of their originality as a precautionary due-diligence measure against fraud and consequential financial implications.

Such accreditation services inherently contain identification and certification aspects, which are now only occasionally required for specific applications; however, these are expected to become the norm over time as a prerequisite for scientific aid to expert opinion in legitimate transactions involving cultural goods. 

The core of our accreditation service is addressed to Museums, private owners and collectors, auction houses, law enforcement agencies, legal offices, insurance and transport companies specialized in this trade.
