The requirements your company must meet for registration with SMHV are laid out in the SMHV Handbook.
Entry fee
The company to be registered will be charged a one-time fee of €250 (excluding VAT). This entry fee includes administrative costs and is collected by the relevant CB (Certification Body) and then deposited by the CB into SMHV's account.
Annual contribution
In addition to the aforementioned entry fee, registered companies are required to pay an annual contribution to SMHV. The amount of the annual contribution is determined annually by the board.
For 2025, an annual contribution of €525 (excluding VAT) applies per registered company. This annual contribution is also collected by the CB and transferred to SMHV.
Registering multiple locations
When registering multiple locations under the same number, an annual fee of €50 applies for each additional listing. More information can be found on the Registration of multiple locations page. This contribution is also collected by the CB and transferred to SMHV.
If you register during the year, the annual contribution will be reduced by ¼ every quarter to a minimum of €200 (excl. VAT).
SMHV has entered into agreements with three Certification Bodies (CBs).
These CBs are accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA).
Each company enters into an agreement with one of the three CBs.
