The EU's Sustainability Agenda Is Already in Force.
The European Union's regulatory programme for sustainability, batteries, supply chains, and product compliance is not a future consideration. Most of it is already enacted. The manufacturers who will access European markets in five years are preparing now. KaM is the only authorised Kiwa representative in India and Southeast Asia — and the work can begin today.
Netherlands-Based Notified Body
Kiwa is a globally recognised Notified Body and certification organisation headquartered in the Netherlands, operating across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and beyond. As a Notified Body, Kiwa holds formal standing under EU law to assess conformity, issue certifications, and provide regulatory services in connection with EU directives and regulations.
Kiwa's reach extends across product safety, energy, sustainability, and environmental certification. Its assessments are accepted by regulators, buyers, and governments across the European Union and internationally. For a manufacturer seeking to demonstrate compliance with EU requirements, Kiwa's involvement is a mark that European authorities recognise.
What KaM Can Do That Others Cannot
KaM is Kiwa's sole authorised representative for India and Southeast Asia. This is not a referral arrangement or a commercial partnership for lead generation. It is a formal authorisation under which KaM delivers Kiwa-backed services directly to clients in this region — from initial scoping through assessment, documentation, and certification.
For an Indian or Southeast Asian manufacturer, this means access to Notified Body-level capability without the cost, complexity, or delays of engaging a European firm across a twelve-hour time difference. KaM holds the authorisation. The assessments carry Kiwa's standing. And you work with people who understand your production environment, your regulatory starting point, and your timeline.
Three Reasons This Matters
Notified Body standing, locally delivered
Kiwa holds formal standing under EU law. KaM delivers that capability from within India and Southeast Asia — your team works with engineers who understand your environment, not a European firm operating across a 12-hour time difference.
Across the full EU sustainability agenda
EU Battery Regulation, CSRD, CSDDD, CBAM, ETS, Deforestation Regulation, Ecodesign, GPSR, and Packaging Directive — KaM covers the full range of EU sustainability frameworks that affect Indian exporters and their supply chains.
Timed to the regulatory calendar
The regulatory deadlines are set. Several obligations are already in force. KaM tracks each regulation's implementation timeline and helps clients sequence their compliance work correctly — so nothing is missed and nothing is done twice.
