Certificate of recognition

In the Netherlands, all parties involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air, such as shippers, agents, ground handlers and airlines, must have a certificate of recognition. This will be granted by the Inspectorate once it has been determined that the applicant meets all the applicable requirements such as the training of all staff involved.

In order to accommodate parties without such a certificate, there are special dangerous goods companies that are able to carry out these services on their behalf.
