The UK's leading notified body for the certification of products under the European Gas Appliances Directive and Boiler Efficiency Directive is now working with TUV International UK.

Advantica, the UK's leading notified body for the certification of products under the European Gas Appliances Directive and Boiler Efficiency Directive, is co-operating with TUV International UK for international approvals.

Advantica decided it needed to be able to offer its clients an additional range of international approvals.

Following discussions with TUV International UK in 2004 regarding GOST R-Mark approvals for Russia and the CB Scheme for electrical appliances it was agreed that both companies would work together to promote international approvals.

TUV International UK will promote Advantica services throughout the TUV Rheinland Group.

Advantica was attracted to working with TUV International UK, thanks to its global reputation as part of the TUV Rheinland Group.

The TUV Rheinland Group has more then one hundred subsidiaries located in 50 countries, this means it is able to provide approvals for most countries world wide.

According to Graham McKay, Advantica's Manager of Certification Services: "We are delighted to be working with TUV and that we are able to offer our clients efficient access to a wider range of international approvals and new markets".

Kieran O'Brien, TUV International's General Manager, expressed his satistfaction in co-operating with Advantica and looks forward to working with the company on future projects.
