Energymanagement
On 24 April 2012, the German standards institute DIN will withdraw the EN 16001:2009 European standard and replace it with the international ISO 50001:2011 standard. The energy management experts at TÜV SÜD explain important points to note for organizations which intend to change their existing certificates or are currently undergoing EN 16001certification. TÜV SÜD Management Service GmbH was one of the first certification companies to gain DAkkS accreditation for the certification of energy management systems in accordance with the ISO 50001:2011 standard.
Tire with a seal
The European Union enacted a labeling directive for tires from 2012 onwards. The new label is designed to inform tire customers about rolling resistance, grip in wet conditions and noise. Manufacturers are required to use the label.
The rating scale for rolling resistance and grip runs from the top green category of “A” to the red last letter of “G”. TÜV SÜD Automotive has developed new testing procedures over the past two years and conducts in its laboratories measurements of various tire characteristics.
