  • We will be the global partner for a safe connected world

    We help you to innovate and thrive in a connected world through independent product testing, inspection and certification. Founded in 1925, DEKRA has ensured safety through a wide range of services for close to a century. Today, our passionately committed safety specialists put their extensive expertise to excellent use across the globe. At DEKRA, we believe technological advancements can only happen when people feel confident that roads, workplaces, and homes are safe, secure and reliable.

    Our product testing and certification experts build loyal partnerships through their relentless passion for product safety and connectivity. Our customers rely on us not only for our trusted certificates, but also to help them consider all the safety aspects of every single component. We do so every step of the way, until a product reaches its destination.

    In a connected world, your product doesn’t just have to work – it has to work with everything else too. Our smart combination of safety and connectivity testing gives you the edge in a future where nothing on the road, at work, and at home works alone. That’s what makes DEKRA your partner for a safe connected world.

  • Three key areas of life

    Safety is a core need for everyone. We know that many accidents can be avoided. Therefore, we concentrate on the three key areas of life: on the road, at work and at home.

  • On the Road
