Company History

From technical inspectorate, committed to the minimization of technical risks, to service provider.

Established 140 years ago by boiler operators as a private-sector regulatory body with the business objective of protecting man, the environment and property against the adverse effects of technology in the industrial centers of the German L�nder Baden, WÜrttemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and Saxony (e.g. in Bavaria under the name of Bayerischer Dampfkessel Revisions Verein (Bavarian Boiler Inspection Association)).

Gradual expansion of areas of activity parallel to technological progress (among others, electrical power, motor vehicles, fire safety, power station engineering, passenger lifts, ropeways, nuclear power stations, environmental protection, product safety, management systems).
