Auditing standards and commissions
The methods, test profiles and standards of the DLG Test Center are manufacturer-independent and based on state-of-the-art measurement and testing procedures. The DLG test guidelines are developed by test committees - consisting of leading practitioners, scientists, experts from associations, consultants and administrative experts - together with the DLG test engineers. The test guidelines reflect the current state of the art and are based on objective, recognised methods that provide reproducible results.
