House, land, and garden are synonymous with quality of life. Looking after them
means work, but also provides relaxation, stimulation and pleasure.
However,
fun can only be had if good products are used. Whatever gardening tools,
furniture for the garden and terrace or barbecues - TÜV Rheinland Product Safety
GmbH's experts test and certify safety and quality.
Consumers, who prefer to be on the safe side should thus look out for our GS
and Q Marks. Both stand for objective test results verified by an independent
body.
Are you a user or manufacturer? If so, contact us, and we will help you
achieve enhanced safety outside house and home.
