Procedure details
Description
The pollutant-related sample tests on soil, sewage sludge, sewage sludge mixtures and sewage sludge compost prescribed by the Sewage Sludge Ordinance may only be carried out by bodies that have been designated by the competent authority or that have equivalent recognition from another EU or EEA state.
The Sewage Sludge Ordinance obliges the sewage sludge producer to have certain sample tests carried out on sewage sludge and application soils for sewage sludge. These tests may only be carried out by testing laboratories that have been designated (notified) by the competent authority.
The competent authority checks whether the requirements for designation (notification) of the applicant as an inspection body for certain inspections provided for in the Sewage Sludge Ordinance are met (see "Requirements" below).
A body is already considered to be officially designated, even if it operates in Bavaria, and therefore does not require designation by a Bavarian authority if it has been designated by a competent authority of another federal state or if it has equivalent recognition from another EU or EEA state. In the latter case, the foreign body must submit the equivalent foreign recognition to the competent German authority before commencing its activities in Germany.
Requirements
An examination body (applicant) is designated (notified) for certain sample examinations of soil, sewage sludge, sewage sludge mixture and sewage sludge compost provided for in the Sewage Sludge Ordinance if the applicant
- is reliable
- has the necessary independence for the tests
- has the necessary expertise for the respective tests
- has the necessary technical equipment for the tests
- has demonstrated in regular quality assurance measures that he has the technical competence
- has introduced a quality assurance system in accordance with DIN ISO EN 17025 and
- can provide evidence of successful participation in the transnational interlaboratory comparison (LÜRV).

-
in the case of applicants or responsible persons from other EU or EEA countriesIn addition to the above-mentioned proofs of reliability and expertise, equivalent foreign proofs are also sufficient if the proofs show that the above-mentioned prerequisites are fulfilled or that the requirements of the foreign country are essentially comparable with these prerequisites. The Bayerische Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft may require the submission of a certified German translation of such foreign certificates.
Fees
The fees for carrying out the procedure for determining (notifying) an inspection body are charged in accordance with the Bavarian Costs Act (KG) of 20.02.1998 and the schedule of costs (Art. 6 KG):
- Fee for the notification: 200 to 400 €
