PRECERTIFICATION FOR RFNBO FACILITIES
Future-Proof Your Facility: Precertification for Successful RFNBO Certification
What is RFNBO Precertification?
RFNBO precertification acts as a dry run for the full certification process, ensuring facilities are prepared for the initial audit at the start of commercial production. During precertification, potential roadblocks are identified and addressed through a certification rehearsal exercise, smoothing the path to successful certification. Ideally conducted during the pre-FEED or FEED stage, precertification allows for the integration of necessary design elements from the very beginning of the project setup. This proactive approach prevents costly last-minute changes and ensures a smoother path towards full RFNBO certification.
Why Undergo an RFNBO Precertification?
Fast Track to Certification with Precertification
Precertification offers a strategic advantage, streamlining the RFNBO certification process:
- Identify RED II Gaps Early: Uncover weaknesses in design, production, and supply chain to meet RED II compliance.
- Prepare for Audits Seamlessly: Learn about data sets needed for compliance (technical data, emissions calculations) for smoother data collection.
- Take Proactive Action: Identify areas to improve production setup or policies, potentially aiding suppliers’ RFNBO certification.
- Avoid Costly Reworks: Minimize the risk of major design or process changes later.
