Are you already accredited for system 1, 1+, 2+ or 3 under the current CPR? Then you must submit an extension application for accreditation under the CPR 2024. This can be done once a harmonised standard for a product group is available. At the moment, this is not the case. This means that you cannot submit an extension application immediately after the CPR 2024 comes into force.

• If the extension concerns a product area for which you are already accredited under the CPR 2011, the extension assessment will consist of an office assessment. Temporary accreditation under restrictive conditions does not apply (BR001, Article 74). Witnessing of activities will take place after the extension of the scope has been granted and after notification.
• If the extension concerns a product area for which you are not yet accredited under the CPR 2011, the extension assessment will consist of an office assessment, followed by temporary accreditation under restrictive conditions. The temporary accreditation under restrictive conditions can be lifted once witness assessment and an office assessment have taken place.

To submit your application, please use the RvA application tool ). The application tool will guide you through the application process, and the quick scan will show you which documents we require for the application.

The new CPR introduces a new system, namely system 3+. The RvA has already issued a Call for Interest for system 3+ under this regulation. Under the CPR 2011, it is possible to carry out activities for system 3+ if the harmonised standard for a product group gives substance to this.

The RvA is in close consultation with the Ministry of Volkshuisvesting en Ruimtelijke Ordening (VRO) regarding the transition process. The Ministry of VRO is financing the transition process for the RvA. The costs that are included within this process are training, qualification, coordination of assessments and development of the scope for accreditation and, where necessary, a specific accreditation protocol. The transition costs do not include the costs of the accreditation assessment itself. The assessment activities, such as preliminary investigation, initial assessment, attendance or assessment of deviations, are subject to the assessment rates as described in the RvA policy rules and the rates decision.
