Inspiring trust yesterday, today and tomorrow TÜV SÜD was founded on the principle of protecting people, property and the environment from technology-related risks.

Today, this founding principle remains valid and embedded in our mission. As we look to tomorrow, we have identified four strategic themes that we believe will shape the narrative of commerce and society in the decades to come: consumer protection, digital transformation, sustainable development and urbanisation.

The following pages outline the work that we are doing around the world to drive the development of these themes.

Consumer protection

Digital transformation

In our increasingly commoditised, connected world, consumers are choosing to trust brands that are dedicated to realising a greater quality and safety objective that goes well beyond just meeting standards. As the world leader in quality, safety and sustainability, we have been in the business of protecting consumers from technology-related risks since 1866.

Homes, phones, factories, energy grids – it seems everything has the potential to be ‘smart’. Industry 4.0 is creating intelligent networks by enabling interconnected components, machines and systems to communicate autonomously. For the experts at TÜV SÜD, the future is already here.

We are giving people the confidence to trust in these new technologies.

Instilling confidence across global supply chains

Ushering in the fourth technological revolution

Chemical safety

Food safety

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance

Infrastructure security

TÜV SÜD partnered with Geox to achieve full chemical safety certification in less than two years, certifying its entire product line of more than 6,000 models according to the TÜV SÜD Footwear Mark. To ensure chemical safety, over 2 million tests and inspections will be conducted annually.

TÜV SÜD provided certification and auditing services to help Meiji achieve a GFSI benchmarked food safety standard, increasing the marketability of its confectionary products and enabling international access to new distribution channels in the U.S.

TÜV SÜD has installed 500 sensors at an ageing coal-fired power plant in India to increase availability and efficiency. By enabling real-time monitoring and analytics technology to comprehensively monitor plant performance, the sensors will predict and prevent dangerous operating conditions.

In an eight-month honeynet project, TÜV SÜD simulated the critical infrastructure of a municipal waterworks network. Our IT Security experts detected and analysed a total of 60,000 unauthorised access incidents and attacks from over 150 countries.

Global market access

Nationwide vehicle safety

Secure online transactions

Smart manufacturing

TÜV SÜD’s unique partnership with Big Ass Solutions has helped this innovative manufacturer of industrial, commercial and residential fans, and lighting products to reduce duplicate testing and streamline the product approval process, enabling faster access to new markets.

TÜV SÜD ATISAE operates a network of 35 service centres throughout Spain, where periodic technical inspections and emissions testing are undertaken to ensure vehicle safety and environmental protection. In 2015, over 1.3 million vehicle inspections were carried out.

TÜV SÜD’s S@fer Shopping Certification has given Expedia a clear advantage in the competitive online travel category. In addition to closing the ‘trust gap’ between Expedia and its customers, the S@fer Shopping Certification process provides a data security framework for Expedia websites worldwide.

Sustainable development

Urbanisation

Our wants are infinite. Unfortunately, our resources are not. Current projections put the world’s population at 9.6 billion by 2050. Our ability to meet the needs of tomorrow comes down to the decisions we make today. That is why we are helping businesses meet their responsibilities to employees, customers and the environment through a balanced, sustainable approach.

The world’s urban population is on the rise. For the first time in history, more of us live in cities than rural areas. Cities present immense challenges in terms of energy, water, housing, safety and transportation. With decades of experience in automotive, rail, safety and security solutions, we are uniquely placed to help solve the challenges of our urban future.

Managing growth for the good of all

Solving complex challenges for growing cities

Decentralised sanitation technologies

Energy efficiency

Infrastructure

Public transportation

To bring safe and sustainable sanitation to 2.5 billion people in developing countries, TÜV SÜD is partnering the Gates Foundation to develop a technical standard for off-grid community-scale sanitation technologies.

To support the BMW Group’s ambitious targets for economical energy use, the energy efficiency analyses we undertook at its manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, South Africa, identified 28 potential areas for energy savings that were organised in a catalogue of proposed actions.

Our project management services analysed energy consumption, improved safety parameters and optimised utilisation of systems at the modernised and expanded Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, India.

Our rail safety experts are ensuring Hong Kong’s commuters arrive safely and on time by performing Independent Safety Assessments of the MTR’s new eight-car metro train sets C-type, focussing on safety-related subsystems such as interfaces including train-borne signalling equipment.

Offshore wind energy

Safety of recycled e-vehicles

Smart cities

Social housing

From monitoring of manufacturing, transport, erection/installation and commissioning of the entire offshore wind farm to operational release approval from the responsible German authority, our experts ensured that all components conform to given requirements in order to mitigate operational risk in the certification of a new offshore wind farm, Nordsee One.

To uncover potential risks of recycling e-vehicles following seawater immersion, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration engaged our experts to develop test procedures and appropriate safety criteria for use in developing suitable safety standards.

Building on the Morgenstadt (City of the Future) Initiative and the Triangulum European lighthouse project, we developed a smart city assessment checklist to measure how ‘smart’ a city is and prepare an action plan for improvements.

More than 42,000 low-income families now have a place to call home under a public housing programme in São Paulo, Brazil, in which we provided project management and construction supervision services.

A heritage of business success From the age of steam engines to today’s hyper-connected world, our society has been shaped by three major technological revolutions. TÜV SÜD’s story began with the first, when steam boilers were the innovative new technology powering the Industrial Revolution. Following a devastating explosion that claimed one life and injured many, the first steam boiler inspection association was formed in Mannheim in 1866. This association gave rise to an enduring legacy and marked the beginning of technical safety in Germany.

In the years and decades that followed, similar organisations, collectively known as TÜVs (Technischer Überwachungsverein or Technical Inspection Association in English), sprang up across Germany. By the 1990s, different TÜVs were operating throughout every state in Germany. Over time, the TÜVs from the southern states came together to form TÜV SÜD. Today, TÜV SÜD is the largest TÜV in the world in terms of revenue, network and the number of experts it employs.

Today

On 6 January, 22 industrialists united to establish the Steam Boiler Inspection Association Baden in Mannheim.

The first binding standards related to boiler safety were agreed, paving the way for uniform technical inspections.

Our first vehicle periodic technical inspection was carried out.

Environmental advocacy began with our publication of a report addressing dust pollution.

The launch of a standardised nationwide system created 14 regional inspection associations named TÜV.

TÜV organisations were tasked with performing regular inspections of all motorised vehicles.

Expansion beyond Europe began with a cable car accident investigation in Cape Town, South Africa.

TÜV Product Service GmbH was launched, pioneering the concept of worldwide approvals.

Asian subsidiaries launched in Hong Kong then Japan, Taiwan and China, with North American subsidiaries set up around the same time.

The TÜVs from Germany’s southern states united to form TÜV SÜD.

Singapore’s PSB Group is acquired, with TÜVTÜRK launched the following year and our largest acquisition to date, ATISAE, in 2016.

TÜV SÜD has been inspiring trust for more than 150 years and remains committed to shaping the future of commerce and society.
