Mehrfach-Zertifizierungskosten durch Regulierungsfragmentierung
Definition
Search results indicate TÜV NORD certifies to 'ISCC DE, ISCC EU, and REDcert' as distinct schemes. Intertek and DIN CERTCO each mention '2BS Biomass', 'ISCC', and 'RSPO' as separate certifications. Normec specifies 'SURE sustainability certificate' and 'REDcert' as separate requirements. Plant operators lack clarity on which scheme is legally sufficient for EEG subsidy qualification. Result: operators commission 2–3 audits simultaneously to de-risk subsidy loss. Each audit costs €5,000–€15,000 and requires 40–80 manual hours for document collation.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €15,000–€40,000/year per facility (redundant audit fees); 80–160 hours/year of internal compliance labor
- Frequency: Annual (often 2–3 audits per year due to scheme uncertainty)
- Root Cause: Regulatory fragmentation (no single certified scheme recognized equally by all German grid operators); unclear guidance on ISCC EU vs. REDcert equivalence; risk-averse operators commission multiple audits
