Readiness assessment for DW certification

Purpose of the service

Certification will be available from notified bodies from January 2027 at the earliest. In order to give our customers the best possible conditions for meeting new legal requirements and to facilitate a faster and smoother certification process, we now offer preliminary assessments. A preliminary assessment is expressly a preparatory technical assessment and does not constitute certification.

The purpose is to provide you with:

• An early indication of whether materials, formulations, and documentation appear to meet the requirements of EU 2024/368
• Identification of any deficiencies and needs for supplementation

Technical documentation that can be used as a basis for a future certification process with a notified body (NB).
