Your entry into the global market

International regulations

Manufacturers worldwide rely on our expertise.

Whether in plant engineering, as a tank manufacturer or in welding technology - components manufactured in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are your key to global markets, especially the USA and Canada. Components manufactured in accordance with the ASME Code are recognised in over 100 countries worldwide. We support you with a comprehensive range of services from ASME inspections and calculations to competent support with the complete certification process.
Gain access to global markets by complying with international regulations such as the ASME Code or the Indian Boiler Regulation (IBR).

We carry out calculations or preliminary tests and support you with the application of various international regulations.

 

 

Our ASME services

Our services

Increasing digitalisation in the manufacturing industry is increasing the number, complexity and safety requirements of electronic systems. Mechanical components are increasingly being replaced by digital technology or controlled by it. Ensure compliance with standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 to ensure the functional safety of your systems and products. Our services include the assessment and certification of safety-related systems to minimise risks and maximise reliability.

Functional Safety

The IEC 62443 series of standards provides comprehensive guidelines for cybersecurity in industrial automation systems. The standards have a modular structure and cover various aspects of security, including network and system protection, secure product development and risk management.

IEC 62443 certification for cybersecurity in industrial automation

A functioning information security management system (ISMS) helps your company to close weaknesses within its structures and minimise security risks. The globally recognised ISO 27001 standard defines the criteria for setting up, introducing, operating, monitoring and continuously improving a documented ISMS.

ISO 27001 Certification 

TÜV NORD supports you in complying with your operator obligations - for example by testing PVO-approved experts (approval for technical fire protection) for the operation of special buildings, by testing your conveyor technology such as lifts and crane systems or by testing electrical safety in accordance with VdS and DGUV Regulation 3.

This allows you to reliably fulfil legal and insurance requirements and minimise downtime and liability risks. Find out here how we can support you in the efficient and future-proof design of your building technology.

Millions of people rely on the safety of the systems and devices they work and live with every day. As an operator, you can rely on our experience when it comes to safety and functionality. Every year, we test thousands of different components, we analyse the relevant regulations on a daily basis and implement them in a targeted manner. Our experts are always in direct contact with users around the globe. Traditionally, we support operators in mining and explosion protection, and we arm companies for the future with software-supported risk-based strategies. We ensure that goods of all kinds keep moving and people can work safely
