The draft version of BRL 9041 "Asphalt filler" has been published for criticism.

We are getting older and staying longer in our own homes, with or without tailored care. Many homes are not suitable for this and need to be adapted. The WoonKeuradviseur, an initiative of WoonKeur and SKW Certificatie, is the right person to guide this in the right direction. 

As of May 6, 2021, the BRL 7010 "Biobased content and recycled material" has been published for criticism. Based on the requirements in this assessment guideline, a KOMO product certificate can be issued for the biobased content, or the percentage of recycled material from which an already KOMO-certified product is composed.

The new Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb) imposes greater liability and responsibility on the contractor. With the new BRL 5029 certificate developed by SKW Certificatie and SKG-IKOB Certificatie, the contractor shows that he checks the quality of his work himself in a standardized and reliable way.

How does the CSC seal of approval contribute to making the Netherlands more sustainable? That will be the focus of the webinar on March 30 that Betonhuis is organizing with SKG-IKOB and other certifiers. The latest developments will be discussed by advisors from Betonhuis, the scheme manager of CSC in the Netherlands and representatives of the certifying bodies.

We are getting older and staying longer in our own homes; many homes are not suitable for this purpose. Residents can live independently for longer without unnecessary investment if they are aware in time that they can. As the link between resident, owner and government, WoonKeur and SKW Certification are introducing the WoonKeuradviseur. The advisor works with the criteria of the Handbook WoonKeur Bestaande Woningen and helps with conscious choices to deploy resources in a targeted manner. The first advisors are already active and working at housing corporation Actium in Assen and Bouwkundige Begeleidings Adviesgroep (BBA) in Heemskerk.

The draft assessment guidelines (BRL) 2111-01 for the KOMO® process certificate Soil covering in the crawl space and BRL 2111-55 for the KOMO® attest Soil covering in the crawl space of SKG-IKOB Certificatie BV have been published for criticism (laid out for consultation). 

The draft assessment guidelines (BRL) 1330-1 for the KOMO® ATTEST-MET-PRODUCT CERTIFICATE FOR Glued STRIPS and BRL 1330-3 for the KOMO® process certificate for the installation in situ of glued STRIPS by SKG-IKOB Certificatie BV have been published for criticism (submitted for approval).

When entering into a certification agreement with SKG-IKOB Certification, both parties are given various rights and obligations. Unfortunately, this is regularly abused: non-certified parties also use our logos. This harms us, but also you. Help us to prevent this!
