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!

The accreditation scope of SKG-IKOB has recently been expanded to include the testing of tongue and sash products. Producers of these products must establish the performance of load-bearing capacity and deformation under load with tests carried out by a designated body (Notified Body).
