Accreditation at the DAKKS
The German Accreditation Body GmbH (DAkkS) is a national accreditation body of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is the only national accreditation body that gives accreditations according to Verordnung (EG) Nr. 765 / 2008 and the Akkreditierungsstellengesetz (AkkStelleG). The Siebert + Knipschild GmbH is accredited as a testing laboratory and inspection body in the DAkkS Typ A according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020. Within the annual assessment through the MPA Hannover the normative requirement is monitored.

The DIBt is the german admission office for building products and designs. There, the Siebert + Knipschild GmbH is listed as an inspection body and a certification body.
Notification as a testing laboratory for EU-building products.
In addition to its accreditation by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS), Siebert + Knipschild is also notified as a testing laboratory for construction products in accordance with the European standards EN 45001 and EN ISO/IEC 17025.

Recognition as a licensing body for the Federal Railway Authority
For the testing of components and products – for example in the external monitoring and internal monitoring of gratings for railway platforms – we are also recognised by the Federal Railway Authority as a monitoring and certification body through the recognition of the DIBt. For example, in the area of composite construction elements and glass-fibre reinforced plastics.
