The Netherlands
Starting January 1, 2025, several changes to the KOAG KAG rates and procedure have taken effect.
Updates rates
To align the rates with the workload associated with each type of material, the pricing structure has been re-evaluated.
- Most rates remain unchanged. Some rates have been aligned.
- New rates apply to packaging materials and websites.
- A new combined rate for labels and packaging applies when both are submitted simultaneously.
- No further indexation was implemented.
You can find the rates here: Tarieven – Keuringsraad
Invoicing
Previously, the invoices were sent after closure of the file. From 2025, invoices are sent at the end of the month in which the initial review takes place, even if the file is still open.
- Additional review rounds within two months of the first review will be covered under the initial fee.
- For reviews required after the two-month period,a new invoice will be sent.
Note that the first feedback can be expected within 5 working days for the normal review procedure.
Emergency procedure
If an expedited review was requested (review within 2 days), a fee is charged. To avoid misuse of this emergency procedure, an additional fee will be invoiced if the file remains open after 2 weeks.
