In the Netherlands, buildings must meet minimum fire safety requirements. Until and including 31 December 2023, the national building regulations governing fire safety were set out in the Bouwbesluit 2012 (Building Decree 2012). Since 1 January 2024, they have been set out in the Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving (Bbl), the Dutch decree governing building works in the living environment. Whether an inspection certificate is required depends on the building, its use and the requirements established for your specific situation, for example in legislation and regulations, a permit, or requirements set by an insurer or client.
For inspection activities that fall within the accredited scope, Bureau Veritas is accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA) under registration number I 002 as an independent Type A inspection body. Where applicable, we work under the relevant CCV inspection schemes for fire protection. Depending on the inspection scope, we may assess related organisational, functional and building-related aspects in addition to the system itself.

Fire safety services
Bureau Veritas has extensive experience in fire safety. We independently assess your fire protection systems against the relevant legislation and regulations, standards and other documented requirements. Depending on the scope of the inspection, we assess the documented design basis, the detailed design and the completed system. Where the agreed assignment includes inspection of the completed system, an inspection certificate may be issued following a positive final inspection conclusion.
Depending on the assignment, we carry out inspections for public- and private-sector organisations across buildings, infrastructure and industry, as well as offshore projects, in the Netherlands and internationally.
