Request component testing nowWhether wheels or tyres, brakes or other vehicle components – these parts play a vital role in road safety. To ensure they function reliably even under high loads, we test their strength, service life and safety under realistic conditions in our own test laboratories or at our partners’ facilities.
As a technical service provider, we support manufacturers and developers with type testing and beyond – in compliance with regulations, with a practical focus and on an individual basis.
Our services are aimed at anyone who wishes to develop, manufacture or type-approve vehicle components:
Whether you are developing a new product, already in production or wish to have an existing product tested – we are here to support you with our experience and testing expertise.
In our accredited laboratories, we offer a wide range of tests using our own testing equipment. We also collaborate with partner laboratories to expand this portfolio:
Our test laboratory is equipped with a wide range of testing facilities to test your components and systems in accordance with legal requirements and manufacturers’ specifications.
These tests are based on national and international testing regulations such as the StVZO, EC or ECE, as well as manufacturers’ specifications and testing guidelines.
In addition to testing individual components (wheels and tyres), tests on the wheel assembly, including the chassis and braking system, can be carried out under realistic conditions on our driving dynamics half-axle test bench (FDHAP).
To test your brake components in accordance with statutory requirements or industry standards, the Brake Systems Test Laboratory operates a total of four flywheel test benches.
These test benches can be used to test brake components ranging from motorcycles and passenger cars to commercial vehicles and even trains. In some cases, this can be carried out under controlled environmental conditions.
In addition, it is possible to test brakes for industrial applications and to determine their noise behaviour.
Dynamic and static tests are carried out to assess the strength of connecting devices. These tests are based on national and international legal requirements. Tests in accordance with technical regulations and similar standards are also possible.
Our TÜV NORD experts carry out these tests on clamping stations in servo-hydraulic test rigs.
The IFM team offers testing services for a wide range of other applications that must be carried out as part of the type-approval process.
In addition to testing individual components and systems, road tests are carried out to assess vehicle modifications. These include, for example,
✅Decades of experience in testing safety-critical components
✅Accredited testing laboratories and state-of-the-art testing technology
✅Support throughout the entire certification process – nationally and internationally
✅Personalised support and practical testing concepts
✅Reliable results for product optimisation and market entry
