Amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 32025R2083
applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 2 now specifies that the national accreditation body accredits a legal person, rather than simply a person, as a verifier.
A new sentence has been added to paragraph 2 stating that where the legal person is accredited under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 for a relevant group of activities, the national accreditation body shall take that accreditation into account when assessing the qualifications needed to perform verification under this Regulation.
Paragraphs 1 and 3 remain worded as they were before this change.

Article 18 Accreditation of verifiers 1. Any person accredited in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 for a relevant group of activities shall be an accredited verifier for the purpose of this Regulation. The Commission is empowered to adopt implementing acts to identify relevant groups of activities by providing an alignment of the qualifications of an accredited verifier that are necessary to perform verifications for the purpose of this Regulation with the relevant group of activities listed in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 and indicated in the accreditation certificate. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 29(2) of this Regulation. 2. A national accreditation body may, on request, accredit a legal person to be a verifier for the purpose of this Regulation where it considers, on the basis of the documentation submitted to it, that such person has the capacity to apply the verification principles referred to in Annex VI when performing the tasks of verification of the embedded emissions pursuant to Articles 8 and 10. Where the legal person is accredited in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 for a relevant group of activities, the national accreditation body shall take such accreditation into account for the assessment of the qualifications of an accredited verifier that are necessary to perform the verification for the purpose of this Regulation. 3. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 28 in order to supplement this Regulation by specifying the conditions for granting of accreditation referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, for the control and oversight of accredited verifiers, for the withdrawal of accreditation and for mutual recognition and peer evaluation of accreditation bodies.
