To verify the safety and reliability of procured goods or equipment, buyers must be sure that vendors comply with quality requirements and that manufacturing processes are in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.

In today’s globally-linked world, international vendors and subcontractors provide products to clients thousands of miles away, making it difficult for foreign buyers to evaluate manufacturing processes taking place on different continents. We support you with vendor audit and subcontractor audits designed to prove the reliability of both potential and current suppliers. Our on-site vendor assessment services help you to ensure that your quality expectations and compliance requirements are met globally and along the entire supply chain.

As an independent party, our experts at TÜV Rheinland can make sure that the vendor is able to deliver products which meet the required quality and are in line with applicable standards in the requested time.
