In the quest for innovation, product testing, compliance, and safety certifications remain key to accessing markets and gaining customers. No one wants to buy a product, service, or process that hasn\u2019t been thoroughly vetted by an independent body. In the context of global markets, few certifications carry the importance or significance of those from T\u00dcV S\u00dcD, but in the United States, the various companies that are part of the T\u00dcV Association are not widely known. So, what is T\u00dcV S\u00dcD, and why is it so important to product development?<\/p>\n
\u201cT\u00dcV\u201d stands for \u201cTechnischer \u00dcberwachungsverein,\u201d which translates to \u201cTechnical Inspection Association\u201d in English. There are several independent companies that are part of the T\u00dcV Association; T\u00dcV S\u00dcD<\/a> is headquartered in Munich and employs approximately 25,000 people around the globe.<\/p>\n T\u00dcV S\u00dcD is focused on protecting people and the environment through rigorous testing, certification, auditing, and advisory services. The company helps ensure regulatory compliance of new and updated technologies, especially in automotive innovation and development, and it functions as a notified body in Europe for medical devices. The T\u00dcV companies trace their origins back to the 1860s when they were first formed to oversee the safety of steam engines.<\/p>\n T\u00dcV S\u00dcD and T\u00dcV Rheinland are different companies that both provide similar services. All T\u00dcV companies are at least 25.1% owned by the T\u00dcV Association. There are currently six main members of the T\u00dcV Association, all of whom are denoted by the brand \u201cT\u00dcV\u201d plus the regional suffix, such as S\u00dcD or Rheinland. The other T\u00dcV companies include T\u00dcV Nord, T\u00dcV Th\u00fcringen, T\u00dcV Saarland, and T\u00dcV Austria.<\/p>\n A T\u00dcV S\u00dcD Certification assures governing bodies and consumers that a product, service, or process has passed relevant safety testing and meets relevant compliance requirements. The certification process is rigorous and comprehensive and involves multiple steps, including steps to review requirements and establish processes followed during development.<\/p>\n T\u00dcV Certification is recognized internationally as a sign of quality and thorough review\u2014similar to an ISO or UL certification. Although it originated in Germany, it is regarded globally as evidence that your product, service, or process has attained high standards of safety, quality, and sustainability. With a T\u00dcV S\u00dcD Certification, you can achieve access to additional markets and give your customers peace of mind.<\/p>\n Jama Connect received its first T\u00dcV S\u00dcD<\/a> certification in 2016. Jama Connect is T\u00dcV S\u00dcD certified for developing safety-related products according to ISO 26262 (up to ASIL D) and IEC 61508 (up to SIL 3).

In 2019, Jama Software completed additional certification<\/a> for Jama Connect as a software tool for the development of medical devices according to IEC 62304 and railway applications according to EN 50128.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t neglect important certifications.
