Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CNBOP certificate of admittance?
It is a Polish route for defined products used in fire protection, rescue and public safety. It is different from a voluntary technical opinion.
Can an EN test report replace CNBOP admittance?
Not when Polish rules require admittance. The international test evidence may support the application, but the required Polish document must still be obtained.
Does CNBOP-PIB Approval apply to every product made by a certified brand?
No. It normally applies only to the models, variants, uses and conditions named in the current certificate or listing.
What should I include in a purchase order?
State the exact model, required certification and standard, destination market, documents to be supplied and any system compatibility or witnessing requirements.
