Document background
The Certificate of Satisfactory Completion is a critical document in Belgian contract law, particularly in construction, engineering, and professional services sectors. It serves as formal documentation that contracted works have been completed according to specifications and meets all regulatory requirements. This certificate is typically issued after thorough inspection and testing, and its issuance often triggers important contractual events such as final payments, warranty periods, or the transfer of responsibilities. Under Belgian law, the document plays a crucial role in both private and public contracts, providing legal protection for all parties involved. The Certificate of Satisfactory Completion must comply with various Belgian regulations, including the Civil Code provisions on contracts and specific construction laws, and may be particularly important for public procurement projects where strict compliance with completion procedures is required.
