About TÜV Rheinland North America
In 1872, textile manufacturers in Germany's Rhineland region recognized a critical gap in industrial safety. Steam boilers, the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution, were prone to catastrophic explosions that claimed lives and destroyed livelihoods. On October 31, 1872, they founded Dampfkessel-Überwachungs-Verein (Steam Boiler Inspection Association) to monitor these dangerous machines and prevent accidents through independent inspection. This commitment to safety became the foundation of TÜV Rheinland.
What began as a regional safety initiative evolved over 150 years into a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services. Today, with more than 20,000 employees across six continents, TÜV Rheinland stands for quality and safety for people, technology, and the environment. From certifying medical devices to securing industrial control systems, the company's independent experts ensure that innovation never comes at the cost of human safety. The organization has expanded beyond its industrial roots to address the challenges of the digital age, including cybersecurity for operational technology and medical devices, while maintaining the founding vision: making the world safer through technical expertise and impartial assessment.
