Securing notified body designation from the Dutch government, and being accredited by the Raad voor Accreditatie (RvA), means that products certified by BSI can continue to be legally sold across the EU after the UK leaves.
BSI said that the Dutch designation ‘provides stability and continuity of market access in the event of disruption linked to the UK’s proposed exit from the European Union’.
Chief executive Howard Kerr said: “BSI already has an established presence in the Netherlands, providing product conformity assessment amongst a range of other services. To be designated as an EU notified body in the Netherlands for the Construction Products Regulations provides continuity of market access for our clients from within the UK and internationally.”
