Senior expert for

Volker Klosowski has been working in the field of technical testing and certification for 25 years, including 20 years in national and international management and supervisory board functions, most recently as board member of TÜV Rheinland AG.

Klosowski was deployed several times during pandemics (including bird flu) in Asia. Since 2009, he has been involved in the development and implementation of organizational concepts and technical instruments for epidemic control for Asian companies and government institutions (such as the Taiwanese customs at the international airport in Taipei).

Klosowski now makes his experience available to German medium-sized companies who need to develop pragmatically appropriate concepts for their international locations in order to restart their production or sales for the respective growth market.

German companies understand that now is not the time to improvise, but rather to meticulously implement the regulations and document compliance with them. Regardless of whether in India or anywhere else in the world, it is precisely this “German thoroughness” that will be the decisive competitive advantage in the coming months and years (against the cheap competition from Asia).

He has had India-specific expertise since 2004, among other things through his responsibility for the foreign affiliated companies of TÜV NORD AG. For TÜV NORD's Indian activities, Mr. Klosowski was a key driver for the entry and expansion of a successful large-scale testing laboratory business.

It is challenging for foreign companies to keep track of the complex environment of Indian approvals and certifications. European standards are mixed with US or British standards. Or new Indian standards have been issued in recent years that are not always logically comprehensible and are sometimes even contradictory. In addition, you receive completely different information depending on who you talk to, in what context and with what interests. Achieving clarity there is not easy and often requires a huge amount of research and communication.

Our customers benefit from his expertise when it comes to questions a) about approvals and certifications of European products for India, for example as part of a market launch, and b) about evaluation and testing, e.g. B. from suppliers and locally manufactured products.
