DEKRA Certificates, Seals and Marks
So that you know what you can rely on
Our certificates confirm that a test or audit has been carried out and successfully passed in accordance with defined criteria. The test criteria are stated on the certificate. The test marks and certificates we issue are a powerful marketing tool and our renowned name DEKRA stands for safety and trust.
At DEKRA, we have almost a hundred years of testing and certification experience. Our experts issue a wide range of certificates and marks of conformity for customers, demonstrating that safety, performance and quality standards have been met within a product, service or system.
Both certificates and marks of conformity are visible proof that a successful certification, assessment or test has taken place and passed with positive results. Recognized marks of conformity serve as confirmation at a glance that an independent third party has verified compliance with the applicable safety and specific quality characteristics of a product, service or system.
The DEKRA seal for safety and quality
The seal is awarded to companies, products or people that demonstrably meet defined standards, for example in terms of safety, quality or sustainability.
The DEKRA seal is a clear, transparent proof of performance from a neutral body. DEKRA attaches great importance to the reliability and transparency of the DEKRA seal. That is why the criteria used in the test are clearly stated in our DEKRA seal database.
