Clearer. Safer. Better.
Our new test mark replaces all others. From now on, TÜV Rheinland issues
only one globally unified test mark. With a clear declaration of testing scope
and a QR code. For more transparency, more safety and more advertising value.
Our new test mark. One for all.
The standardised design of the new
mark significantly enhances the
recognition value of the brand. At
the same time, this reinforces the
identification potential. In addition,
the certified contents are now clearly
visible. That brings the mark’s usage
right to the point.
Greater clarity also enhances safety,
because the same rules apply to
everyone, they all use the same tools
and they all know the same facts.
The new mark always stands for clear
rules and test mechanisms – without
exception. With the QR code the
associated testing scopes are
accessible in a matter of seconds.
The increased recognition value and
the higher level of safety also
enhance the advertising value. As a
user, you benefit from the more
striking design and significantly
greater brand awareness.

In brief, in order to standardize the awarding of test marks and to strengthen the TÜV Rheinland brand. In combina-tion with the revised keywords, we make sure that our services communicate the same high value all over the world and that our customers as well as the end-users understand this also. We improve the recognition of our mark as well as its protection against counterfeiting.
Why is there a new test mark?Q1
Customers with which we entered into a contract before January 2013 will be granted preservation of the status quo for using the test marks already awarded during the transition period. However, they may also use the new test mark. Reasons for this include the fact that the new test mark is identical and recognizable worldwide and that in future the old test marks will be no longer adver-tised.
All test marks that use the TÜV Rheinland logo (blue triangle) or show the TUVdotCOM sign respectively use TÜV Rheinland’s name have to be replaced. The test marks of LGA and DIN CERTCO are not affected.

During the one-year transition period, you can still use our old
test marks – the conversion will be made gradually. The new
mark will only become mandatory once the time limit expires.
Because from now on it’s: One for all.

What will happen to contracts made before that date?
Basically it lasts 1 year from January 2013. We recommend switching to the new mark as soon as possible. Where required we can make exceptions - please contact us.
How long does the transition period last? Do we award only the new test mark or are there any exceptions?
They can look up the ID on the Internet. With the QR-Code, this becomes easily accessible.
The design has become unique and can only be associated with TÜV Rheinland. Each of the variants “TÜV Rhein-land certified”,“TÜV Rheinland inspected” and “TÜV Rheinland tested” is combined with clear keywords. The use of available space is optimized, thus improving legibil-ity. The ID number points to relevant test information in our database. The newly introduced QR code also links to this information.
What does the new test mark look like? How can customers identify that the test mark is authentic and original?
Our aim is to help our customers achieve success in the global marketplace. The mark adds value to the products and they can be marketed more effectively. The unified design improves the recognition value and even a lesser-known brand is boosted by our test mark.
There is no time limit.
How long will the new test mark be in use? Why did TÜV Rheinland redesign its marks?
The certificates are still valid and do not need to be replaced. From January 2013, only the new mark will be issued.
Certificates will continue to be valid as printed on each certificate, including the test mark shown on each certifi-cate. Technically they will be valid until the certificate expires. Still we recommend switching to the new mark as soon as possible since it is better known in the market and offers more transparency, safety and advertising value.
Will existing marks still be valid? Once the new marks are in use, are the current certificates still valid? Do clients need to apply for new ones bearing the new mark?
