Standards and quality labels

In addition to the strict laws and regulations that Entertainment Centers have to comply with, the Dutch trade association VAN Speelautomaten has formulated additional criteria together with DEKRA for safer business operations. Both members and non-members of the VAN can be tested by DEKRA against these criteria and, if the result is satisfactory, have the opportunity to receive a certificate that has now been made mandatory by many municipalities.

AVG Assessment services

Since May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force in all EU Member States. The regulation requires organizations to carefully handle the data and privacy of individuals. Do you want to be sure that you have your affairs in order? Please contact DEKRA. We have developed a simple test to see to what extent your organization has set up a management system to comply with the GDPR.

Our assessment

1. The first part of the test consists of completing an online questionnaire, which deals with the most important privacy themes. This way you can quickly see where you stand.

2. During an audit we check the measures you have implemented to protect personal data as well as possible. If both parts have been successfully completed, you will receive a statement from us confirming that you have taken the correct measures.

BRL 9500 Energy Label

If you are a specialist in the field of property management, rental or sale, you probably have to deal with the energy performance certificates on a regular basis. Do you want to be able to ascribe these type of certificates? DEKRA can help you with this by providing a EPBD / KOMO Instal certification.

From January 1, 2008, an energy performance certificate is mandatory for the sale and rental of new and existing homes and buildings in our country. In doing so, the Dutch government is implementing the European EPBD (Energy Performance Buildings Directive). With the EPBD and/or KOMO INSTAL certificate, your organization meets the requirements for issuing energy performance certificates. This is interesting, for example, for companies that regularly deal with homes and buildings, such as consultants, installers, brokers, appraisers or construction companies. With the BRL 9500 certification, these companies can expand their range of services. After receiving the certificate, you are allowed to assign a certificate to buildings. An efficient solution for organisations and clients.

• subarea 01: Energy label - existing homes
• sub-area 02: EPA custom report - existing homes
• sub-area 03: Energy label - existing utility buildings

MedMij label

For optimal care, it is useful if up-to-date personal health information is easily available to all healthcare providers a person comes into contact with, such as a general practitioner and hospital and pharmacy staff. Thanks to digitization this is possible and the in Dutch so-called Persoonlijke Gezondheidsomgeving (PGO) has been developed, so that healthcare staff can view, manage and share personal health data in one place. To ensure that this is done safely, high demands are made on both the supplier of the PGO and the IT-support from the healtcare institution that wants access to the information. These requirements are laid down in het MedMij Afsprakenstelsel. If you work as an IT company within the healthcare sector and you want to use the MedMij label, your systems can be audited for complying with the agreements.
