SCIOS certification
Quality and Safety Guaranteed
Companies that monitor quality and safety are expected to work with the utmost care. SCIOS certification is proof that your installation and inspection company is fully qualified to inspect and maintain technical installations, such as heating systems and electrical equipment.
What is a SCIOS inspection?
Before you are awarded a SCIOS certificate, you will undergo a SCIOS inspection. This demonstrates that your maintenance and inspections meet the highest standards in terms of efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. During the inspection, your electrical installations, heating systems, and electrical equipment are checked to ensure that they are operating optimally, safely, and energy-efficiently. An accredited Certification Body (CB), such as DEKRA, carries out this inspection. If this audit shows that your company meets the requirements, you will be awarded the SCIOS certificate.
Gas-fired installations with a nominal total installed capacity exceeding 100 kW must be inspected once every four years. These inspections may only be carried out by a SCIOS-certified company. View
