Applying for APK (3) recognition and instrument inspection

You can submit your application for recognition as an inspection station through RDW. To understand the specific requirements for obtaining the relevant APK recognition, please refer to the following websites:

  • Regulation on recognition and inspection authority for APK
  • rdw.nl
  1. The measuring instruments require a valid type approval, which should be requested by the manufacturer or their representative.
  2. Following this, each measuring instrument undergoes an initial inspection conducted by an authorized Inspection Authority or NMi.
  3. Subsequently, periodic re-inspections are carried out (every 12 or 24 months, depending on the type approval) by an authorized Inspection Authority or NMi. Please note that NMi exclusively conducts inspections. For maintenance, updates, repairs, and related services, you are advised to contact your supplier (which may also be an authorized Inspection Authority).

*In the event that a measuring instrument does not possess type approval, it cannot be inspected.

*To determine compliance of your existing measuring instruments, kindly consult your supplier. The type approval will be indicated on the markings of the measuring instrument (in the form of Txxxx, where x = 0 .. 9).

For technical inquiries and advice on available options, please reach out to your supplier.
