With EKH certification, you demonstrate that your organisation works according to clear guidelines and up-to-date Working Instructions and employs certified professionals. This not only strengthens your own processes, but also increases the confidence of customers, supervisory authorities and insurers.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Certification of EKH Companies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to personal certification of EKH Inspectors, EKH also certifies the EKH company itself. To become a certified EKH Member, a company must meet a number of important requirements: <\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li><strong>Comply with the <strong><strong>EKH Quality Management System (Digital Handbook)<\/strong><\/strong>;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Demonstrably work in accordance with the EKH Working Instructions;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Examination activities are carried out by EKH-certified EKH Inspectors. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These requirements are laid down in the EKH Quality Management System (Digital Handbook), which serves as the guideline for the annual EKH audit. This audit is carried out by an independent auditor. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Companies that meet all requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\" class=\"wp-block-list has-background\">\n<li><strong>Receive the EKH certificate;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May use the EKH logo as a quality mark;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May use EKH examination reports for lifting accessories and cranes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a customer of an EKH Member is not satisfied with an examination that has been carried out, they can contact the independent EKH Complaints and Disputes Committee. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industries in Which EKH Companies Are Active<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EKH Members work for a wide range of industries.
