Regions

This region comprises North, Central, and South America. DEKRA is continuing to expand its market presence here, in business areas such as product testing and certification, vehicle and emissions testing, process safety assessments, and consulting on all aspects of occupational safety, cybersecurity, and sustainability. By offering these services DEKRA underscores its commitment to safety and quality in key markets such as the USA, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

DEKRA ranks among the main providers of vehicle inspections in the Scandinavian countries; there is also demand for industrial inspection services, power plant assessments, and certification services in those territories. In the United Kingdom DEKRA contributes to improving occupational and plant safety, which strengthens the resilience of companies there. DEKRA is also helping to reduce environmental impacts and integrate sustainable business practices. At its site in Arnhem in the Netherlands, DEKRA continues to expand its role as the regional hub for product testing and certification.

Vehicle and industrial inspections are one of the key services in this region, which comprises France, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. In Spain DEKRA has established a center of excellence that focuses on the secure connectivity and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of cell phones and smart home products, with additional emphases on Industry 4.0 and big data applications. V2X (vehicle-to-everything) technologies are being tested at a dedicated test site for connected driving, and specific test processes for relevant products and applications are at an early stage of development.

These three countries make up an important region for DEKRA. From our home market of Germany, we advance transnational innovations and services in future-focused fields such as sustainability, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI). For example, the DEKRA Technology Center at the Lausitzring in Klettwitz, Germany, is being developed as Europe’s largest manufacturer-independent test track for automated and connected transportation.

This region encompasses Italy, the Balkan states, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Romania, and Bulgaria. The primary business areas here include vehicle inspection, audits and certification, consulting and training, and claims management services. DEKRA also has laboratories providing homologation and type approval services, as well as testing for aspects of driver assistance systems and electric vehicles such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region covers Greater China, Japan, South Korea, India, Vietnam, and New Zealand. Alongside vehicle and industrial inspection services, business in this region is focused on product testing in the electronics, automotive, renewable energy, medical, and retail sectors. Future-oriented fields are also of interest here, such as artificial intelligence, sustainability testing, cybersecurity, and functional safety.
