Apply for digital accreditation symbol

If you want to use a digital accreditation symbol, you must submit a corresponding application to the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).

In Germany, the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) is responsible for inspecting and assessing conformity assessment bodies.

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

The accreditation symbol confirms that a conformity assessment has been performed in compliance with all relevant accreditation requirements. This 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 DAkkS.

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

The application applies to one conformity assessment body at a time.

You are submitting an application for the use of the digital accreditation symbol by email:

• You complete the application form electronically in accordance with the mandatory requirements and send it by e-mail to the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS).
• In parallel, please send the original "authorization document" by mail to DAkkS.
• The DAkkS, together with the responsible specialist department, reviews the application.

There is no deadline.

The costs are variable.
