Integrate biodiversity in design, then have it certified

Two distinct stages, two separate teams

Biodiversity is handled in two distinct stages. First in design: integrating ecological considerations into the project, with ARKENOR in support. Then, if the client wishes, having it certified — the role of Effinature, issued by IRICE, an accredited body.

These two stages are never carried out by the same team: the designer cannot certify their own project. The impartiality required by ISO/IEC 17065 means the certification decision belongs to IRICE alone. For the architect, the path stays clear: design on one side, attest on the other.
