Environmental verifier approval
Description
The Environmental Audit Act grants environmental verifiers the right to certify that organizations (industrial and service companies or other institutions) meet the requirements of the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). To do this, environmental verifiers must undergo a special approval procedure and provide evidence of the necessary expertise and reliability.
Environmental verifiers are licensed for one or more sectors.
In these sectors, they can issue the attestations and certificates required by law, provided that they have the areas of approval specified in the respective regulation.
The quality of the environmental verifiers is ensured by the legally regulated approval and supervision procedure.
