Forged certificates

TÜV is one of the best-known brands in Germany and also enjoys a very high reputation internationally. The brand embodies the values of safety, reliability, trust and neutrality like no other and has a high marketing value for the owners of the certificates and test marks. This is another reason why our certificates and test marks are repeatedly counterfeited.

The following list of known forgeries does not claim to be exhaustive. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a TÜV Saarland certificate or test mark, you can check it in our certificate database. We will also be happy to assist you personally.
