How many steps are involved in the certification process?
Several steps are required:
- Application + selection of an Effinature AMO
- Signature of quotation and right to use the Effinature trademark
- Initial assessment (DCE phase)
- Evaluation of structural finishing
- Inspection and compliance at the end of construction
- Issuing the Effinature certificate
For Effinature HVE only:
- In-situ evaluation in operation (3 years after delivery of the site, renewable every 3 years)
What's the difference with other labels?
The certification process can highlight the level of requirement that is demanded and achieved. The project as a whole is therefore more demanding than a standard project.
LABEL VS. CERTIFICATION
How can you tell them apart?
Despite the similarities, there are significant differences between a label and a certification. Certification focuses on results, confirming the conformity of procedures. Certain labels, on the other hand, focus on assessing and recognizing the quality of the services offered, with an objective of means.
Effinature certification is the only guarantee of a truly biodiverse living space, based on scientific criteria that are neutral and impartial.
Certification stages of an Effinature project
Working closely with experts in urban biodiversity is essential to the success of your Effinature certification. Our ecologists, experts in biodiversity, provide training for our AMOs, seasoned building professionals who hold Effinature accreditation.
These AMOs are dedicated to guiding you through each phase of your project's certification.
