We regularly adapt our testing laboratory to the latest technical standards so that we are always optimally equipped to meet your individual requirements.
A list of frequently carried out testing processes by automobile companies and internationally valid testing standards is as follows:
Volkswagen: TL 82506:2014-10 | TL 82506:2014-10
Mercedes-Benz: QEV 111 AFWM4T:2018-01 | QEV 111 AF59PB:2015-07
BMW: GS 95001-4:2013-05
Hyundai: ES37110-01
International testing standards (DIN):
EN 50342-1:2022-08 | EN 50342-6:2019-05 | IEC 60095-2:2021
In addition, we continue to carry out testing processes of the automotive group as well as internationally valid testing standards and individual battery analysis according to customer-specific framework conditions.
Our laboratory works 24/7 on 365 days a year. The energy supply and ventilation technology in our laboratory is already designed to increase performance from 47 to 90 test circuits, so that we can quickly adapt to any increased demand.

Field of application
As an independent battery testing lab for lead-acid batteries, we render performance analyses for:
- 12 volt enclosed starter batteries (liquid electrolyte filling, EFB and EFB+) and those which are sealed (AGM, Vlies, Gel)
- 12 volt enclosed and sealed batteries for stationary applications (OGi, OPzS, GroE, AGM, OPzV)
- 12 volt small traction batteries for electric vehicle drives (forklifters, lifting platforms, e-mobile vehicles) of the low-on-maintenance and maintenance-free types
- 2 – 80 volt traction batteries (PzS, PzV) for forklifters

Process reliability
Our tests are oriented to the test standards in force of DIN, the Volkswagen VW75073 Group standard and to customer- specific requirements. All sequences can be reproduced in a document form in keeping with Quality Management ISO 9001. For guaranteed fail-safe operations, our own uninterruptible power system (250 kVA) and a diesel generator (410 kVA) ensure our complete power supply is protected from any mains failure.
Efficiency
In order to be ideally equipped to handle your individual requirements at any time, we regularly adapt our testing lab to reflect the latest technological standards. All battery analysis testing operations are conducted in accordance with the national (DIN) and international specifications as well as the company and group standards, such as the Volkswagen VW75073 Group test standard (03/2020). There is no difficulty for us in adapting our processes to your requirements. Our lab is open around the clock every day in the year. Our lab‘s energy supply and ventilation technology has already been designed for an efficiency hike from 47 to 90 testing circuits. This means we can quickly adapt to any raised level of demand.
Delivery service
To ensure safe transport of the batteries to be tested to the exclusion of any incalculable external effects, we offer our own vehicles are available to our customers in Germany and the surrounding countries for collecting and returning these batteries. This is a cost-incurring service and is to be arranged on an individual basis.
