BRL 6000 certification
Proof of craftsmanship with the BRL 6000 certification
A safe building is built on craftsmanship: contractors and installers who know what they are doing. But how do you show your craftsmanship if you place many installations neatly out of sight? The BRL 6000 certificate proves that you have all the knowledge about installations. DEKRA is happy to help you with BRL 6000 certification.

What is the BRL 6000?
The BRL 6000 is an assessment guideline for companies engaged in the design, installation, management and maintenance of technical systems, such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The purpose of the BRL 6000 is to ensure that systems are implemented and maintained in a safe, sustainable and energy-efficient manner. The guideline sets requirements for the technical execution and for the competence of the employees involved. Companies that meet the BRL 6000 guidelines can obtain a BRL 6000 certificate, demonstrating that their work meets the applicable quality standards.
The requirements of the BRL 6000 certificate
Every organization with a BRL 6000 certificate meets at least the general part of the certificate. This contains requirements for the design and installation of each installation.
In addition to the general part of the BRL 6000 certification, you are certified specifically for all fields in which you work. Within the BRL 6000 there are several 'special parts' for different disciplines. For example,
BRL 6000-25,
for central heating installations, or other parts for electrical installations, gas installations, tap water installations or soil energy systems (BES).
On top of that, you can choose a BRL 6000 certificate for design, installation, maintenance/management, or a combination these. Finally, a distinction is made between the size of the installations. And a distinction is made between the phase of the construction process in which you are working. In this way, your BRL 6000 certificate allows you to show exactly your expertise.

Is the BRL 6000 certification mandatory?
The BRL 6000 is mandatory in some situations, depending on the nature of the work and the specific regulations that apply. For certain installation work, such as gas systems or heat pumps, BRL 6000 certification may be mandatory in order to meet government requirements or tenders. In other cases, obtaining BRL 6000 certification may be voluntary, but offers benefits such as demonstrating professional competence and increasing reliability with customers and clients. This can provide significant differentiation for companies that want to demonstrate that they are working to the highest standards.

Since April 1, 2023, only certified installation companies and fitters with a Certificate of Craftsmanship are allowed to perform work.
