Adrian,
please have a look at http://pypy.org/
PyPy is financed by the EU commission, and they sureley have no certificate.
Beatrice During from Changemaker has done lots of the EU negotiations, if
you need a personal contact let me know.
On the other hand: PostgreSQL complies to ISO standards. Compliance to xxx%
to the ISO of SQL99, yyy% to the ISO of SQL2003 (it's stated within the
documentation somewhere)

Hm. PostgreSQL complies to very very strict procedures: there are regression
test for big chunks of PostgreSQL. The acceptance process of patches is also
highly structured.
It's more a question to find somebody to document and certify this; but if
he is talking big money, that "certificat" would be a cheap aspect.
