About DEKRA

Who we are and what we do

For 100 years, DEKRA has been committed to creating a safe and sustainable world. With around 48,000 colleagues, we ensure safety in everyday life all over the globe. Most of the time working behind the scenes, but always making an impact.

DEKRA was founded in 1925 to guarantee road safety. At that time, the automobile was on the rise, and our activities focused on vehicle inspections. Over the years, our expertise grew and our services expanded. Today, DEKRA is the world’s largest independent, non-listed expert organization in the field of testing, inspection, and certification (TIC).

DEKRA in The Netherlands

In 2008, DEKRA started loss assessment in the Netherlands. This was followed by several acquisitions, including KEMA Quality: a Dutch global player in the field of product testing and certification. Today, DEKRA Netherlands offers a comprehensive range of services focused on facilitating safety at work, at home, and on the road.
  • We ensure that devices are thoroughly tested before becoming part of your household, workplace, or in the case of medical equipment, even your healthcare! Cybersecurity plays a key role in this, as we live in a digitally connected world.
  • In critical industries, we inspect machines and installations to ensure that production processes can run safely. Our safety experts make sure that the people working in these environments know and follow the applicable safety standards.
  • Our auditors verify whether organizations operate in line with standards that guarantee safety, sustainability, and quality. A DEKRA Audit certificate inspires trust.
  • Whenever damage or injury occurs, our claims experts are ready to investigate the cause, assess the damage, and handle the claim. And did you know that you can travel safely by train thanks to the testing and certification work of our colleagues at DEKRA Rail ?
