With independent feasibility studies, TÜV NORD evaluates the location, permitting requirements, safety aspects, and risks of your energy projects — enabling clear decision-making and supporting reliable, efficient project planning.

TÜV NORD supports you in the CE conformity assessment for energy products and installations. We analyse which EU requirements, directives, and standards apply to your installation, classify them, and structure the necessary tests and verification processes at an early stage. We also review the technical documentation and risk assessment – ensuring secure access to the market.

The eCall automatic emergency call system automatically alerts the nearest emergency services control centre in the event of a serious accident and transmits key data such as the location, time and direction of travel. eCall has been mandatory in new vehicle models since 2018.

Whether you’re pulling in or out of a parking space, minor dents and scratches are not uncommon. But what should you do if you damage another vehicle, and what are the consequences of driving off?

Accidents happen in the blink of an eye, but what should you do in an emergency? The question of whether to call the police often causes particular uncertainty. We’ll show you in which situations it’s absolutely essential to call the police, when you can avoid doing so, and what steps you should take immediately at the scene of the accident. That way, you’ll be fully prepared should the worst happen.
