Corporate Technology Services
The Corporate Technology Services (CTS) department of HARTING Stiftung & Co. KG inspects the products to ensure their quality as an independent service provider for the entire HARTING Technology Group.
As a HARTING internal laboratory, we have both in-depth testing knowledge and knowledge of the products and their application markets. This enables us to provide competent advice on the test requirements for the different application markets.
The laboratory is accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2018 for testing of electro-mechanical components, fibre-optic and electronic transmission systems, geometries and material properties and for EMC testing for CE-mark certification.
The accreditation is valid only for the scope listed in the annex of the accreditation certificate D-PL-12148-01-00.
The daily updated list of test procedures within the flexible accreditation scope can be viewed here.
They assist with product development and product certifications, design innovative enabling technologies and provide technical consulting.
