Since 1987

About us

GÉPTESZT

GÉPTESZT began in 1987 as a family-founded technical inspection company. It was built not on a business opportunity but on professional competence, accountability and trust — commercial growth followed professional credibility, not the other way round. That mission has been unchanged since 1987: the methods and the regulations change, the purpose does not.

GÉPTESZT Kft. has performed testing in the field of occupational and machine safety since 1987, with a particular focus on regulated and high-risk lifting equipment.

In 1999, our scope expanded to include machine conformity assessments and workplace noise measurements, supported by our accredited testing laboratory in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025.

In 2009, GÉPTESZT was designated as a Notified Body (NB 2233) under the EU Regulation 2016/425, allowing us to perform EU-type examinations, certifications, and production surveillance for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Our activities are based on recognized standards and supervised by the Hungarian Accreditation Authority (NAH), with listings available in both the EU NANDO and NAH databases.

One core capability: conformity assessment

Although we perform laboratory testing, lifting-equipment inspection and certification, a single competence sits behind all of them: conformity assessment. The same way of thinking — interpreting the requirement, gathering the evidence, making the professional decision and documenting it — applies to lifting equipment and PPE alike.

Our real result is therefore not the document but evidence-based trust: customers, authorities and manufacturers accept our conformity decisions because they trust our independence and professional competence.
