This article concerns the construction of a posteriori error estimates for the boundary element methods in plate-bending problems. The proposed approach allows one to assess the size of the error of a numerical solution through an accurate satisfaction of the prescribed boundary conditions. This error estimate analysis can also be used for boundary-type method formulations such as the Trefftz method, the boundary collocation method, and so on.
