After years of hard work, the Certification Body of EU Drone Port, has been designated as a Drone Notified Body!
During all this time, we set up a lab, we purchased lots of equipment, we calibrated absolutely everything, we trained our personnel, we hired new one, we passed many different audits…
And now, we can proudly say that our name is displayed on the Notified Bodies list from the European Commission.
Our Certification Body has been accredited by ENAC according to the requirements in the standard UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17065 for product certification activities under DR (EU) 2019/945 amended by DR (EU) 2020/1058, and notified by the Spanish Aviation Safety Agency.
Until recently, anyone could manufacture and sell drones without restrictions, posing potential safety risks to them and people not involved in the operation
From 1 January 2024, the DR (EU) 2019/945 mandates that practically all drone manufacturers undergo a rigorous certification process to ensure the safety of drones operating in European airspace.
Any drone manufacturer wishing to market their aircraft in the European Union and EFTA must choose one of the six certification bodies recognised by the European Commission, including EU Drone Port.
The accredited conformity assessment procedure is the Module B, through an EU-Type Examination, in which the manufacturer ultimately achieves a Class Identification Label.
Our accreditation englobes all drones in the open & specific category, and also DRI add-ons.
See you soon!
