PRICE LIST FOR CERTIFICATION AND TESTING SERVICES

To cover the expenses of testing, assessment and certification of equipment, protective systems and components (hereinafter known as the “product”), intended for use in explosive atmospheres of gas, vapour, mist and dust in the process of conformity assessment according to procedures defined by the Regulation of Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres, “Official Gazette” Republic of Croatia no. 34/10 (hereinafter known as the “Regulations of equipment”), clients requesting conformity assessment pay the fees determined by this price list.

Fees determined by this price list include the costs of prescribed and typical procedures of testing and verifying product conformity according to the Regulations of Equipment and Protective Systems.
Prices for testing, verifying and issuing a certificate of product conformity that are not contained in this price list are calculated according to actual costs and work hours spent per the above quoted hourly rate.

General notes:

1)

The fees in items I) and III) of this price list are valid for standard procedures of verification with the delivery of accurate and complete documentation in accordance with the Regulations of Equipment and Protective Systems. All testing and additional work are calculated according to the price list for testing provided in item IV), and corrections and repeat examination of documentation are calculated in addition according to actual costs..

2)

prices for individual services are expressed in Croatian currency, kuna (hereinafter HRK) without V.A.T. (Value Added Tax), which is calculated according to the regulated percentage in effect on the date of invoicing.

3)

The prices for routine K-certification and PK-approval were decreased by 10% in average (relevant to prices from year 2011).
