The German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) has accredited Kiwa as a conformity assessment body (CAB, ISO/IEC 17029) with an expanded scope of services for the environmental sustainability of construction products under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, Annex V, Section 3, in conjunction with Delegated Regulations (EU) 2024/2769 and (EU) 2024/3110, Annex 10.
This is a horizontal accreditation that covers all construction products.
With this expansion of its accreditation, Kiwa—or rather, the Kiwa Group—is strengthening its existing service portfolio and offering manufacturers even more comprehensive support in meeting regulatory requirements under the Construction Products Regulation.
Notification will follow shortly.
The Construction Products Regulation governs the conditions for placing construction products on the EU internal market.
