Test results, test reports, certificates.

Transparency and quality. Two important words that we fill with content: The Trotec consortium is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001. For you as a customer, that means we ensure and optimize the quality of our products and services verifiably from the development through to the production right up to the customer service.

This is why, as part of the development and production of our SecoSan products, we are in constant contact with renowned institutes and authorities, including the German Federal Environment Agency, the German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information as well as the German Federal Ministry of Health and the German Federal institute for Risk Assessment.

We check and test our products in German institutes and laboratories that are recognized throughout Europe, if possible also according to DIN EN standards. In this way, each new product batch, for example, is checked by a renowned German institute to ensure the consistent adherence to our quality standards.
