Our Accreditation

Important partners from the very beginning

HypZert's certifications enjoy an excellent reputation throughout the industry - not only nationwide, but also well beyond Germany's borders. One important reason for this is that HypZert has endeavored to work with the right partners from the very beginning.

On the one hand, there are our shareholders, the banking associations of all banking sectors in Germany, and on the other hand, international valuers' organizations such as the RICS, the Appraisal Institute and, in recent years, increasingly also the IVSC and WAVO.

The support of these associations as well as the mutual recognition shows the trust in the high quality of the work of HypZert valuers.

The Accreditation of the Certification Body

But it is not only the valuers themselves who have to undergo demanding examinations and keep their valuation knowledge up to date in order to become or remain certified. The work of the certification body itself is also examined and evaluated very thoroughly at least once a year by the German accreditation body DAkkS.

HypZert sees this accreditation as a seal of quality that demonstrates to all interested parties that we act transparently, fairly and impartially and can assure the high professional qualifications of all HypZert valuers with a clear conscience. Similar to the recertification of the valuers themselves, we also have to apply for reaccreditation every five years. For this purpose and during the annual assessment of the certification body, our auditors inspect a large number of documents and records in order to convince themselves of proper, comprehensible and well-documented procedures and decisions.

For 24 years we have been standing for quality, transparency and equal treatment of all our valuers.

Already in October 1997, just one year after the foundation of HypZert, our certification for financial purposes - CIS HypZert (F) - was accredited by the TGA, the Trägergemeinschaft für Akkreditierung GmbH. At the end of 2005, all certification areas were also recognized by the Dutch Raad vor Accreditatie (RvA). This was followed in mid-2007 by the accreditation of all certification areas by DAP (Deutsches Akkreditierungssystem Prüfwesen GmbH). DAP and TGA were finally transferred to DAkkS in 2010, which is still our accreditor today. We are pleased that despite numerous newly introduced certification areas and further adjustments in our procedures, we have been able to maintain our accreditation consistently for 24 years and can thus present the seal of approval for quality, transparency and equal treatment of all our valuers.
