EN Plus News Release

After undergoing an evaluation process, the ENplus^® certification scheme has successfully passed the acceptance verification for accreditation by the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA) according to the requirements set out in the document EA 1/22 A-AB 2023 “EA procedure and criteria for the evaluation of conformity assessment schemes by EA accreditation body members”. ENplus^® is now the only wood pellet quality certification on the market to receive such recognition.

ACCREDIA was the Home accreditation body who conducted the assessment of ENplus^® by collecting comments and feedback from all National Accreditation bodies, members of the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA). As a result of the recognition, all certification bodies listed by ENplus^® will now be required to be accredited specifically to the ENplus^® standard, rather than to a general pellet ISO standard as they were previously. 

ENplus^® has certified over 13.3 million tonnes of wood pellets in 2024. Germany is the leading country with almost 3.7 million tonnes of ENplus^® certified pellets produced in 2024. Austria comes second with a slight increase to reach a total of 1.7 million tonnes of certified pellets. France is third with 681,000 tonnes of certified pellets. Top 5 also includes Spain and Poland.
