Changes to composition of KOMO KKTC
September 14, 2020The KOMO Quality and Assessment Committee (Dutch abbreviation ‘KKTC’) is an independent committee and consists of experts from the building and infrastructure sector. An important task KKTC members have is to test, on the basis of their expertise, the KOMO assessment guidelines and associated model certificates, both as regards content and procedure, against the KOMO quality standard and the agreements with the licensees. On top of that, KKTC ensures that everything carrying the KOMO quality mark fully complies with all laws and regulations relating both to building materials and building activities.
KKTC knowledge and expertise has also recently been deployed to monitor the development of the KiK tool (Komo Building Quality Assurance) and to evaluate certification schemes for use with the KiK Tool. The KiK Tool is a software application specially developed for the ‘Wkb’ (Building Quality Assurance Act) instrument ‘KiK’.
Ton Jans, KOMO director
Komo director Ton Jans emphasises the importance of the KKTC: “The KOMO quality mark stands for guaranteed quality and reliability. This is performed and achieved in different ways. KKTC has an indispensable role in this In its capacity as an independent assessment platform. Accordingly, an addition to this is now the supervision of KiK tool development.”
