“The establishment of the Quality-Management Association and its successful work have put quality-management for vehicle monitoring on a new level in Germany. Unannounced follow-up checks by teams of testing engineers from different PTI organizations are a useful tool with regard to both road safety and consumer protection.

The unique pan-European system that the QM Association in Germany embraces is a model that has been met with great interest in Germany and increasingly also in other countries.

Vehicle technology is evolving rapidly, and the legal bases for vehicle monitoring have to keep pace. Against this background, independent quality control with the establishment of a central oversight body is becoming increasingly important. The QM Association can make a significant contribution with its efficient structures and expertise.”

We take up this responsibility in cross-company working groups. Alongside the introduction of new testing devises, such as the PTI adapter on 01 July 2015, we always also have a critical eye on the quality of the work. A certain potential for error in daily work cannot be eliminated completely. That’s why we ensure quality in a twofold way. On the one hand, we do it through our own measures, and on the other hand through the ‘unannounced follow-up checks-system’ which has become an integral component of quality assurance. These neutral and cross-competition audits provide an assurance of the quality of the work but also show us potential for optimization, where we can dig deeper in particular cases if necessary.”
