Nij Smellinghe Hospital in Drachten places a strong emphasis on quality and safety and the field of information security and cybersecurity. What started with certification and audits has evolved into a strategic approach focused on continuous learning, joint thinking and ongoing improvement. In this video, employees of Nij Smellinghe explain how they experience the collaboration with Kiwa and what the strategic approach means in practice for healthcare, quality and cybersecurity.
Kiwa is an Official Local Supplier of the Staatsloterij World Rowing Championships 2026, taking place from 24 to 30 August at the Bosbaan in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In this role, Kiwa contributes to the organization of one of the most important international sporting events hosted in the Netherlands in 2026.
Kiwa Netherlands has expanded its IECEE scope with electrical safety testing for medical equipment. This strengthens Kiwa’s position as a partner for manufacturers that want to bring medical products to the international market. In addition to the existing accreditation for EMC testing in accordance with the CB scheme, Kiwa can now also assess the electrical safety of medical equipment.
As of 2 April 2026, Kiwa’s Road Testing activities in The Netherlands, including the associated consultancy services, will be continued by KOAC Road Testing & Consultancy B.V. This step further strengthens the positioning of this specialised service and creates a clear focus for the domain within the new organisation.
