BRL 6000 certification
Showcase your craftsmanship with BRL 6000 certification
A safe building is built on craftsmanship: contractors and installers who know what they are doing. But how do you demonstrate your craftsmanship when many installations are neatly hidden from view? With the BRL 6000 certificate, you can prove that you have all the necessary knowledge about installations. As an installer, do you want to demonstrate your professionalism and expertise? DEKRA is happy to help you with BRL 6000 certification.
What is the BRL 6000 certification?
Within the broader framework of
quality management standards
, BRL 6000 provides assessment guidelines for companies involved in the design, installation, management, and maintenance of technical installations, such as heating, ventilation, and air treatment systems. The purpose of BRL 6000 certification is to ensure that installations are implemented and maintained in a safe, sustainable, and energy-efficient manner. The guideline sets requirements for the technical implementation and the competence of the employees involved. Companies that comply with the BRL 6000 guidelines can obtain a BRL 6000 certificate, which demonstrates that their work meets the applicable quality standards.
Is a BRL 6000 certificate mandatory?
The BRL 6000 certificate is mandatory in certain situations, depending on the nature of the work and the specific regulations that apply. For certain installation work, such as gas installations or heat pumps, BRL 6000 certification may be mandatory in order to comply with government requirements or in tenders. In other cases, obtaining BRL 6000 certification may be voluntary, but it offers advantages such as demonstrating professional competence and increasing reliability among customers and clients. This can be an important distinguishing factor for companies that want to demonstrate that they work to the highest standards.
The modular structure: BRL 6000-AB and Special Parts
The BRL 6000 has a modular structure so that it can be applied to various disciplines within installation technology. In order to interpret the certification correctly, it is necessary to distinguish between the general section and the specific fields of expertise.
The foundation: BRL 6000-AB
The basis for BRL 6000 certification is formed by BRL 6000-AB (General Section). This section describes the general requirements that the organization's quality system must meet. You can compare this to the organizational preconditions that are necessary to deliver quality.
The BRL 6000-AB sets requirements for matters such as:
- Management responsibility: Management's involvement in quality policy.
- Document management: Correctly registering drawings, revisions, and work instructions.
- Professional competence: Ensuring that staff have the right qualifications and instructions.
- Measuring equipment: The management and calibration of measuring instruments.
- Complaint handling: Procedures for resolving problems and internal deviations.
Without meeting the requirements of BRL 6000-AB, certification for a specific field is not possible. It forms the framework on which the technical requirements are based.
Technical specifications: Special Parts
In addition to the general section, an organization chooses one or more "Special Sections" (sub-areas), depending on the company's specializations. These sections contain the specific technical requirements and references to NEN standards that are relevant to that field. Some common sections are:
- Parts 01 to 03: Electrical installations (residential, commercial, management).
- Parts 07 and 08: Gas installations.
- BRL 6000-21: The design, installation, and management of geothermal energy systems. This section is legally required for work on open and closed geothermal energy systems.
- BRL 6000-25 : Work on gas combustion appliances (known as CO certification). Since the introduction of the Gas Boiler Act, this section has been mandatory for companies that perform maintenance or installation work on central heating boilers and gas fireplaces in order to prevent carbon monoxide accidents.
