Current events

Demonstrating the quality of building products is becoming increasingly important within the framework of the Wkb. The company KURO Kozijn BV in Etten has proven to have a good command of the production process of plastic windows and doors and therefore Dion Wissing and Remko Roes received the KOMO certificate on BRL 0703 from our colleague Guido Soontiëns.

On July 2, 2019, Smals received the CSC certificate for aggregates. This makes Smals the first supplier in the concrete chain with a gold certificate.

A new BRL is in the works: the BRL 5029 Quality Control by Builder. "The KOMO certificate based on BRL 5029 offers contractors under the Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb) great advantages."

The Council for Accreditation has assessed the Keurmerk Leegstand Beheer (KLB) and on this basis has decided to accredit the set of standards and the system of assessment of KLB. This means that KLB's set of standards and the control of this set of standards by SKW Certification are professional, independent and thorough. 

On June 5, René Hagenouw of SKG-IKOB Certification presented the very first SKG-IKOB process certificate for the BRL 1317 to Elmer van Gurp of ISOEnergy. The BRL 1317 concerns the thermal (post-)insulation of elements for internal and external separation constructions with (in-situ) materials.

The 12th World Accreditation Day ('WAD') 2019 will take place on June 9. This year's theme is 'Accreditation: Adding Value to the Chain'.

SKG-IKOB awarded CSC gold to Jos van der Velden, director of Betonmortelcentrale Gorkum, on May 24. The CSC (Concrete Sustainability Council) certificate is a way for producers to prove that concrete products, concrete mortar and raw materials for concrete are produced in a sustainable and responsible manner.

SKG-IKOB and SKW Certificatie have been involved in the development of the new building system for 20 years. For example, they developed the BRL 5019 'Review of Building Plans against the Buildings Decree' and the BRL 5006 'Construction supervision' on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment. To respond perfectly to the new system, both BRLs are integrated into the BRL 5019 New Style. 

In the upcoming editions of trade journal BOVATINfo, SKG-IKOB will provide background information on the KOMO seal of approval for tiling companies!
