Standard Process:
- For your devices or combinations you submit an application to the DIBt.
- You can order the tests required for “national verification of fitness for use” from us. We develop the individual test plan for your development/s in close coordination with the DIBt.
- After approval, we carry out all necessary 3rd party surveillance / monitoring measures for you (acc. DIN 18200, including testing of samples taken), and issue your certificate of conformity.
(by the way: we also offer 3rd party surveillance separately for products that have already been approved – to the form).
- On the basis of the certificate, you can apply the national conformity "Ü" Mark.
The procedure is also explained in a DIBt video (from 2:05).
Validity of the national technical approval is usually 5 years (then an "application for renewal" is to be submitted – we will timely inform you on all required steps).
