Testing & Product Certification
Guarantee the quality of your products
The bigger your global plans, the greater your need to independently verify the quality of your products. Independent testing anticipates and identifies issues at an early stage. By resolving them promptly, you keep costs down and avoid delays. Most importantly, it protects your reputation from product recalls and costly lawsuits.
TÜV SÜD is a world leader in testing and product certification. So when you partner with us, your business is in safe hands.
We provide testing to international standards and directives that are endorsed by leading quality and safety marks. For example, the US Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratory (NRTL) Mark, and the European Community’s CE Marking and GS Mark. We also issue TÜV SÜD product certification marks based on standards set according to internationally recognised benchmarks.
Our International Compliance Management (ICM) solution supports your global market access requirements. Working with an experienced compliance expert enables you to meet the necessary requirements of target countries efficiently and cost effectively.
So when you need to deliver on quality, choose a quality partner like TÜV SÜD.
