Our Claims

TÜV Rheinland. Precisely Right. Two words that perfectly encapsulate our commitment to service: whatever we do, we do it precisely and we do it right. This means that the TÜV Rheinland Group is precisely the right partner for its customers in every respect.

Our Logo

The TÜV Rheinland logo: the points of the triangle symbolise the interaction between man, technology and the environment, while the wave represents a technical examination. For years, the logo has inspired trust, and is recognized around the world as a symbol of safety and quality tested by an independent and neutral organisation.

TÜV®: registered brand

Everyone knows “TÜV”, both in Germany and worldwide. For many people, “TÜV” is rightly synonymous with neutrally tested quality and safety. If it is a matter of required quality of services and products, then one generally talks about the TÜV. It is a little-know fact that the brand is used by different TÜV companies that are in competition with each other. Just like TÜV Rheinland®, the TÜV® brand is also registered. It may be used exclusively by TÜV companies. This ensures trademark protection in Germany, Europe and numerous other countries around the world. It is thus guaranteed that in the future, people will recognise tested quality from TÜV companies by the three trusted letters, and that they will associate TÜV Rheinland with distinct brand commitment: TÜV Rheinland®. Precisely. Right.
