DIN CERTCO GmbH services

We are becoming increasingly dependent on communication and information technology as it comes to play an ever more important role in society. Should we therefore simply trust software manufacturers or providers of e-commerce applications when they promise that their products meet certain specifications?

It is a long tradition in product testing and assessment in the heating and air conditioning field. The certification of products in this branch was laid down in laws, because these products are subject to specific safety requirements. It is in the responsibility of the manufacturer to document the conformity with the regulations according to the relevant EU-Directives. The manufacturer tests the products and declares the conformity with the basic requirements of the relevant directive and standards. Performance characteristics of heating and air conditioning products are laid down in standards. DIN CERTCO examins wether the requirements were fulfilled or not, registeres teh data and assesses by a surveillance procedure if once registered characteristics met the requirements continiously. Users - planners, architects and private builder owners - get the possibility to recall these confirmed performance characteristics.

The DIN CERTCO Testing Centre Eye-Protection (PZA) in Nuremberg is one of the internationally leading institutions for the testing and certification of eye protection equipment of all kinds. As internationally operating service provider, we support the manufacturers of eye protection equipment in introducing their products onto the European single market.

It is a long tradition of product testing and assessment in the construction field. Standards form the basis for certification. Requirements for construction products were laid down in European Standards and EU-Directives refer to these standards, which are the consensus for the commitment og requirements for construction products. Characteristics of german construction products are traditionally better than the European Standard, but is it enough that manufacturers alone know this? The user may appreciate teh high quality level of german products in the course of many years of use without problems. It is decisive for a successful marketing that the user realises the later satisfaction in advance and that he find the way to high quality products in the labyrith at the market. The DIN certification marks of DIN CERTCO are reliable signs for special products.
