Recognized testing for vehicles, systems and components
Test marks and test reports confirm product characteristics and quality
Type testing results and the subsequent approvals confirm that whole vehicles, assemblies, systems and components comply with legal regulations in specific markets. Often vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and importers also ask for proof of additional product characteristics. But how do you objectively document characteristics such as safety, efficiency, quality, environmental compatibility and compliance towards customers and business partners?

We conduct the necessary testing for you at our facilities and certify compliance with legal regulations, in-house standards, industry standards or OEM-specific standards.
