As of the European Commission’s 10 July 2026 state of play, 11 National Accreditation Bodies accept CBAM accreditation applications, among 24 that agreed to offer it. France and Austria follow in July 2026, Hungary in August 2026; Cyprus, Estonia, Ireland and Malta do not currently offer CBAM accreditation. Numbers move as more bodies come online.
Independent CBAM verifiers are accredited by National Accreditation Bodies operating under Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, against the conditions set by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/2551, which applies from 1 January 2026. That date is only the legal basis: the bodies themselves became ready progressively through 2026. The European Commission’s state-of-play table dated 10 July 2026 records where the network stands: across the EU and Norway, 24 National Accreditation Bodies have agreed to provide CBAM accreditation, and 11 are ready to accept applications.
The eleven accepting applications are Belgium (BELAC), Bulgaria (BAS), Denmark (DANAK), Finland (FINAS), Germany (DAkkS), Italy (Accredia), Luxembourg (ILNAS), the Netherlands (RvA), Poland (PCA), Spain (ENAC) and Sweden (Swedac).

Routes for third-country verification bodies
Verification bodies established outside the EU may seek accreditation from a National Accreditation Body that accepts third-country applications. Seven bodies have agreed to accredit third-country applicants, and four already accept such applications: Accredia, RvA, PCA and Swedac. RvA additionally holds an agreement with Turkiye’s TURKAK, and Swedac with Ukraine’s NAAU.
Why the count keeps changing
The state-of-play table is a moving picture. Accreditation assessments run for months, covering document review, competence assessment and witnessing, which is why the first CBAM verifiers are expected to receive accreditation around September 2026. The Commission’s guidance document on accreditation and verification will be published in summer 2026, and the list of accredited verifiers will appear on its Taxation and Customs website once grants begin. Any count of open bodies should be refreshed against the Commission’s page before it is relied on.
GreenSutra’s consultants track the state-of-play table for importers planning verified actual data, mapping which accreditation routes are open while verification itself remains the work of the independent accredited verifier. CBAM advisory covers exposure assessment, embedded-emissions calculation and certificate cost planning. The CBAM guide sets out how verification fits the wider compliance calendar.
