Register open for applications DNA Activity Level
As of today, the subfield of expertise DNA Activity Level is open for registration.
Consultation with the field
After a successful pilot in which assessors assessed DNA reports including propositions at activity level, the NRGD improved the standards based on the feedback received.
Subsequently, the Board of Court Experts gave their approval to open the Register for DNA Activity Level applications.
Why apply for registration?
The 'Experts in Criminal Cases Act' came into effect on the first of January 2010. Since then, commissioning parties (courts, prosecution) have had the legal obligation to provide a justification when they appoint an expert who is not registered in the NRGD. The commissioning parties can use the register to quickly check whether an expert is qualified. As a registered expert, you have been objectively assessed by an independent expert committee and therefore have a public and legal acknowledgement of your forensic expertise.
