Partnership Network Policies
The Partnership Network of DGNB International is based on clearly defined policies:
- Members of Partner Organizations
Memberships are always local. Transfers or rate reductions are not possible. - Certification Fees
Local certification fees apply. An inter-country Certification must be agreed upon with the partner organization. Reductions in certification fees will only be offered by the DGNB for schemes not yet adapted to the country in question. - DGNB International Auditors
DGNB International Auditors will be authorized for inter-country certification assessment if, during their training, a corresponding cooperation is established. If this is not the case, the auditor must submit an application to the organization responsible in the country, including documentation of the relevant qualifications. A test might be necessary and a processing fee will apply. - Products
Only local membership rebates will be guaranteed on country-specific products (handbooks, etc.). International products can, however, be purchased at a discount regardless of country. This also applies to event fees.
