Industrial Goods

Safe products, reliable assets and controlled processes

Industrial manufacturers face growing demands for safety, quality and compliance. At the same time, products and production processes are becoming more complex. Digitalisation, new technologies and international supply chains create opportunities. They also introduce new technical and operational risks. DEKRA supports manufacturers, suppliers and operators of industrial equipment. We provide independent testing, certification, inspection and auditing services.

Our services cover different stages of the industrial lifecycle. From product development and market access to operation and maintenance. This helps organizations demonstrate compliance, reduce risks and maintain reliable operations.

DEKRA services for industrial goods

Product safety and certification
Industrial products and components must meet relevant safety and regulatory requirements before entering the market.
DEKRA tests and certifies electrical and industrial products against national and international standards. Testing can cover electrical safety, EMC, cybersecurity, environmental conditions and product performance.
Independent testing provides objective evidence of product safety and compliance. It can also support access to European and international markets.
Industrial inspection and asset integrity
Reliable production depends on safe and well-maintained equipment.
DEKRA inspects and tests industrial installations, systems and materials. These assessments provide insight into their technical condition and help support safe operation.
Services include Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), Advanced NDT and material testing. DEKRA also performs inspections on equipment such as generators, turbines, boilers and pressure equipment.
These inspections can identify defects and degradation at an early stage. This helps reduce safety risks and unexpected downtime.
Quality and management systems
Clear and consistent processes help manufacturers control quality and manage risks.
DEKRA provides independent audits and certification for internationally recognised management system standards. Relevant standards include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 55001.
Certification demonstrates that processes are structured and controlled. It can also help organizations identify areas for continuous improvement.
Functional safety and cybersecurity
Industrial equipment is increasingly automated and connected. Software and digital communication therefore play a growing role in product and operational safety.
DEKRA provides testing, assessment and certification in areas such as functional safety and cybersecurity.
These services help manufacturers and operators assess whether connected products and safety-related systems meet relevant requirements. They also provide greater confidence in reliable performance throughout the lifecycle.
Product and supplier quality
Industrial manufacturers often rely on complex supply chains. Components and materials may come from multiple suppliers and production locations.
Independent inspections and quality assessments provide insight into product and supplier performance. They help organizations verify whether agreed requirements are met.
This supports consistent quality across production sites and supply chains. It also reduces the risk of defects and non-conformities.

Global reach

DEKRA also provides a broad range of services through its international network.
