EGNATON Cert - the certification system for laboratory equipment

It is completing the DGNB/BNB certification system by focusing on the assets within the laboratory sector. EGNATON cert enables a comprehensive and reliable assessment basis in the purchasing process.
The carefully selected complexity and neutral audit system require at least two separate market participants from the equipment suppliers to get started with a product category.

Welcome to a sustainable lab future

The use of laboratories causes three to five times higher energy and resource consumption than conventional office spaces. In addition, the constant operation of equipment and the high consumption of disposable materials have a significant impact on the environment. That is where EGNATON enters the stage.

Research, Knowledge Hubs and Project Groups

The Research Initiation and EGNATON Knowledge Hub teams supports laboratories from idea to implementation. This starts with the initiation of laboratory projects through to the submission of applications in order to secure funding for the projects.

The advantages to our members

Constructive cooperation for your benefit

We are grateful to our partners, colleagues, and sponsors for strengthening sustainability in the planning, construction, and operation of laboratories and research facilities. Working together in knowledge hubs, projects groups, or workshops and sharing valuable experience in implementing sustainability strategies has created a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Know-how for methods, procedures, and systems

Today, certification is often a requirement for the recognition of laboratory results, as it proves to customers that the laboratory is competent, impartial, and trustworthy. At the same time, it increases the quality and safety of products, services, and processes and facilitates access to export markets.
