Areas of application

Quality assurance and quality certification with meaning and understanding

In the accredited area

We know what we are doing. This is also evident in the fact that we are happy to take unusual approaches to find the perfect measurement solutions for every measurement task. We love every challenge and combine our expertise and know-how as needed to achieve the best possible measurement results.

We are also your competent partner for difficult and unusual tasks. Trust and confidentiality are just as much a part of our basic equipment as reliability and precision. Both the complete measurement environment and our professional experts are perfectly prepared for every requirement. This is quality management for your entire production chain at the highest level.

Practical value tests

But we also have practical experience. In addition to test bench and laboratory tests, we also examine test objects in real-world use. Thanks to decades of experience, we know exactly what to look for in order to record and evaluate the practical value of test objects. We have compiled this experience in decades of work in countless test bases, so that our results remain as comprehensible and comparable as possible even outside standardizable environments. Buyers and procurers, especially in the forestry sector, have been relying on our expertise for 70 years to ensure the highest possible security for their investments. Our utility value tests focus on occupational safety, ergonomics, environmental protection, and process engineering. Particularly suitable products are awarded our test mark, which is recognized as proof of quality by professionals and in the context of EU tenders.

We are particularly active in the following areas of product application:

  • Forestry
  • Gardening and landscaping
  • Municipal technology
