Your coating product passes through multiple stages – R&D, pre-market testing, certification, and ongoing compliance. TÜV Rheinland supports each of these stages with a coordinated service portfolio, so you work with a single partner instead of managing multiple providers.

When coating failures lead to warranty claims or liability questions, you need objective, documented evidence. TÜV Rheinland damage assessments are conducted by experienced analysts in accredited laboratories and are suitable for use in legal proceedings and supplier negotiations.

A TÜV Rheinland test mark signals to buyers, retailers, and auditors that your product has been independently tested. Each mark is linked to Certipedia, where the testing scope, valid standards, and certificate details can be verified digitally at any time.

Our laboratories are equipped with State of the art technology as GC and LC-MS, XRF, FTIR and, and SEM/XRMA instrumentation. This enables precise identification of VOC emissions, heavy metals, preservatives, plasticizers, and other regulated substances – with results that hold up under regulatory scrutiny.

Our services are designed around the frameworks your products must meet: REACH, CLP, the EU VOC Directive, ChemVOCFarbV, and VdL Guideline 01. You receive testing and documentation that reflects current regulatory requirements – not outdated standards.

Coatings for ships, wind turbines, automotive parts, or construction surfaces each face different performance and compliance requirements. TÜV Rheinland brings application-specific expertise – so your test program addresses what actually matters for your product and market.
