TÜV SÜD Vietnam, a leading certification, testing, auditing, inspection, and training company and the wholly-owned subsidiary of TÜV SÜD Group, Germany, inaugurated its state-of-the-art electrical & electronics testing facility at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The laboratory was built within twelve months, despite supply chain constraints, and is fully equipped with world-class services offering a comprehensive range of testing and certification solutions across the electrical & electronics sector, that ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
With its existing portfolio of food, furniture, textiles, and footwear quality compliance, TÜV SÜD has been meeting the needs of testing, inspection, and certification requirements of domestic and export markets for several years through its facilities at Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City. The new facility will focus on testing luminaries, home appliances, IT equipment, weatherproof products up to IP67, and other electric components. It further strengthens the company’s presence across the consumer products market, building on its capabilities in chemical testing, environment testing, and performance testing for a wide range of product categories. It complements existing hardlines, softlines, food, and chemical capabilities to support the full spectrum of consumer products testing for retail and sourcing clients. Through its global laboratory network, TÜV SÜD is well-positioned to provide EMC testing facilities to the broader industry.
Dr. Johannes Bussmann, CEO & Chairman of the Board of Management, TÜV SÜD said: “We have been investing in people and technology in Vietnam for over 15 years. Our investment in this state-of-the-art laboratory for electrical safety and performance further establishes our commitment to consumer safety and is a testament to Vietnam’s growth story in becoming a global sourcing hub. This new lab further complements our existing network of facilities across Vietnam and ASEAN, and reinforces TÜV SÜD’s global position as a market leader in the area of safety, quality, sustainability, and compliance for electronic products.”
With its 330 square meters, the new laboratory will complement TÜV SÜD’s existing ISO 17025 laboratories which already support manufacturers and sourcing houses in Vietnam with a complete consumer products portfolio of test services to enable them to meet their export destination certification requirements.
