Where TÜV Rheinland acts as a designated Technical Service, our test reports carry direct regulatory authority. This reduces processing time and simplifies the path to formal type approval.

We engage at the development stage – reviewing applicable requirements, advising on test strategies, and identifying compliance gaps before they become program risks.

From passenger cars and heavy trucks to two-wheelers, agricultural machinery, and special-purpose vehicles – we cover the full spectrum of road and off-road vehicle types.

Testing, documentation, and authority coordination from a single source – worldwide. This reduces interfaces, shortens timelines, and keeps your approval program on track.

Our regulatory experts know the requirements of their home markets. In regions where TÜV Rheinland does not hold a Technical Service designation, we perform gap analyses against local standards, identify potential non-conformities, and support the path to approval – including in markets where self-certification applies.

31 automotive laboratories worldwide – equipped and accredited for the full range of type approval testing requirements across all vehicle categories and systems.
