Prices

The "En savoir plus (Read more)" button gives access to a detailed price list. It is important to distinguish between:

the costs associated with achieving the certification and the costs of maintaining it,
the costs of CEKAL and those of the MVBs.
- The CEKAL membership fees finance:
  - certification management (decisions, certificates, standards, commissions, website, etc...),
  - promotion (advertising, conferences, the " "Equip'BAie" trade fair, press coverage, movies...),
  - research (laboratory tests).
  The CEKAL membership fees are set every year by the General Assembly.
- The MVB costs finance:
  - the inspection visits,
  - the laboratory tests.
  The MVB prices are negotiated by the representatives of the production centres, and re-assessed each year in accordance with an engineering index (September to September). The codes for these prices are used in the quotes and invoices sent to the manufacturers.
