Comprehensive Consumer Protection
The media brings us many gruesome stories.
Toasters or
 chandeliers catch on fire, drills overheat, irons burn out, or refrigerators do not work up to standard.
If this happens, the manufacturer has failed to do something important.
He has failed to call on the TÜV Rheinland Group to conduct a voluntary safety and quality testing.
Additional testing by our experts goes far beyond the CE mark , that is required throughout Europe.
In the laboratory and in real life, in highly industrialized and in developing countries, our TÜV specialists certify safety and quality to the needs of producers and consumers alike.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
We are looking forward to hearing from you!
| One-Stop Testing Procedures / Safety Approval Procedure
|
To get one of these certificates GS/CoC/TÜV / TÜVNRTL / NOM / S+/ Nordic Approvals / GOST R / CB/S-Mark / others and for technical inspections, the procedure is as follows:
1. Introduction Meeting
2. Technical Meeting
3. Precheck
4. Inspection
5. Preparation of documentation & test report
6. Certification
7. Annual factory inspection
1. Introduction Meeting
We will hold an Introduction Meeting at our office or at yours so that we can get to know you and
·
. introduce TÜV Rheinland to you
. explain the procedure of the safety approval
. explain our fees
. schedule the testing and make an estimate (first time clients only)
. receive your application (application form)
2. Technical Meeting
After the Introduction Meeting follows a Technical Meeting to investigate applicable EU directives (if you apply for a European testmark)
. investigate applicable standards
. perform technical Q&A
Note: Experienced clients may skip steps 2 and 3.
3. Precheck
Next, we do a precheck and devise a test plan. That means
· TÜV Rheinland performs a brief construction check of the product
. we explain the inspection procedure
. we explain the inspection items and which documents are required
. we explain the required test equipment
Note: Experienced clients may skip steps 2 and 3.
4. Inspection
Then follows the inspection with
· witness testing
· construction check
. technical documentation evaluation
· component evaluation
· verification of test results / procedure
· verification of test equipment
· documentation handling
5. Preparation of documentation & test report
Afterwards, TÜV Rheinland will prepare the documentation and issue the
test report (optional).
6. Certification
· issue of various safety licenses
· issue of certificate of conformity (optional) and provide the necessary declaration forms

To verify the quality system of the production line, we perform
regular factory inspections according to the relevant underlying
