FGW-Conformity

All seals are linked to requirements for active committee participation, so that seal holders are not only informed about the contents of the guidelines, but also about the development and background of the respective regulations. Necessary changes to the regulations and the associated systemic tasks can thus be recognized and resolved in good time.

In principle, expert opinions in accordance with FGW test regulations can be carried out by anyone. As some of the testing procedures have become highly significant in terms of the scope of the test and investment decisions, accreditations have been made mandatory in some cases, either by the state or on the basis of a state authorization. FGW itself does not require accreditation in its own Technical Guidelines, but has made accreditation a condition for the seal of conformity for some test methods (TG 1, 2 and 3).

Test laboratories wishing to use the seal of conformity must fulfill the requirements listed below.
