This quality mark logo is managed by the independant foundation drempelvrij.nl and adheres to the international standards, set by CEN/ISSS CWA for website evaluation. The Accessibility foundation is currently assigned by the government to merge these guidelines with the National Web Guidelines. In this way, we offer both quality and accessibility control and reporting. Since March 22, 2006 the Commission of Accreditation has conferred us accreditation for the inspection of web sites for the Quality Mark drempelvrij.
