ENplus® is now recognised by the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA)
After a few years of assessment, the world-leading certification scheme for wood pellet quality, ENplus® has received recognition from the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA). The ENplus® scheme has successfully passed the acceptance verification for accreditation by EA.
