Testing and Certification Body for Food and Packaging at the DGUV
The Testing and Certification Body of the Foodstuff Division is an approved and notified testing laboratory located in Mannheim with another testing laboratory in Mainz. The Mannheim test laboratory mainly tests packaging machines and other food processing machines. Partial aspects such as hygiene can also be tested and certified. The tested and certified products are entitled to bear the DGUV test symbol as proof of quality. The DGUV Test symbol "Hygiene tested" confirms compliance with hygiene requirements based on Europe-wide regulations. All tests can also be carried out during the development phase - a considerable time advantage when introducing new products to the market.
