German Conformity Assessment Council in DIN (DIN KonRat)

Conformity assessment and related activities such as testing, inspection and certification are essential for the success of German industry. And for the European internal market, conformity assessment is an important instrument for the removal of trade barriers.
A permanent committee of the DIN Presidial Board, the German Council for Conformity Assessment at DIN (DIN KonRat) advises DIN's bodies in all matters of conformity assessment. The Council is made up of stakeholders from German industry, inspection and certification organizations, the State and consumer interest organizations.

The activities of DIN KonRat include:

  • consulting the DIN Presidial Board and other steering and working committees of DIN in matters relating to conformity assessment,
  • supporting European and international conformity assessment activities and promoting a transnational recognition of conformity certificates,
  • establishing the aims of conformity assessment within Germany,
  • communicating information on conformity assessment in Germany,
  • promoting understanding between the public and private sectors,
  • coordinating the representation of German interests in European and international bodies,
  • carrying out public relations.
