Apply for a digital accreditation symbol

In Germany, the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) is responsible for inspecting and assessing conformity assessment bodies.

The accreditation notice grants you permission to use the accreditation symbol for your conformity assessment body.

The accreditation symbol confirms that a conformity assessment has been carried out in compliance with all relevant accreditation requirements. It may be used as proof of accreditation in test reports, calibration certificates, certificates and inspection reports within the scope of accreditation.

To use a digital accreditation symbol for your conformity assessment body, you must submit an application to the DAkkS.

To be able to use a digital accreditation symbol, you must be an existing customer of DAkkS with a valid, issued accreditation.

The application is valid for one conformity assessment body at a time.
