Quality, Calibration and Certification: What Each Proves

A company certificate, a laboratory accreditation and a product test result answer different questions. Check who was assessed, which activity was covered and whether the scope matches your test.

Visible proof

Recognised seals. Precisely defined scope.

The marks make independent certification and validation immediately recognisable. The evidence sections below explain what each status covers—and what it does not.

DEKRA Certified Quality Management ISO 9001 seal
Management-system certificationISO 9001

Independent proof of the certified quality-management system.

DEKRA Certified Environmental Management ISO 14001 seal
Management-system certificationISO 14001

Independent proof of the certified environmental-management system.

CharIN Conformance Approved seal
Test-system validationCharIN CCTS

Recognisable proof for the explicitly validated conformance-test-system scope.

Important: a seal is a trust signal, not an unlimited claim. The current certificate, validated configuration, legal entity and published scope remain authoritative.

Evidence architecture

One assurance chain. Four different forms of proof.

Certification, accreditation, validation and test evidence are complementary. They are not interchangeable. Each has a different owner, scope and decision value.

Management-system certification

Managed quality

ISO 9001

Audited processes for consistently planning, executing, reviewing and improving organisational work.

Boundary: the certified entity and covered sites.

Management-system certification

Managed environmental impact

ISO 14001

A structured environmental management system with defined responsibilities and continual improvement.

Boundary: the certified entity and management system.

Laboratory accreditation

Calibration competence

DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025

Technical competence and impartiality for the calibration activities listed in the accredited scope.

Boundary: the named laboratory, quantities and ranges.

Test-system validation

Defined conformance scope

CharIN CCTS

Validation of a named test-system setup for specific charging-system application profiles.

Boundary: the validated setup, profile and release.

The rule: never extend a claim beyond the entity, activity, profile, configuration or validity documented by its evidence.

Management systems

Certified management systems govern how we work.

comemso states certification to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 by DEKRA Certification GmbH. These certifications concern organisational management systems. They are not individual product certificates.

ISO 9001

Quality management

Creates a controlled framework for responsibilities, processes, documentation, review and continual improvement.

  • Defined process ownership
  • Controlled documentation and change
  • Corrective action and improvement
ISO 14001

Environmental management

Provides a systematic basis for managing environmental aspects, objectives, responsibilities and improvement measures.

  • Environmental objectives and controls
  • Responsibilities and monitoring
  • Continual improvement of performance

Accredited calibration competence

Measurement confidence for e-mobility applications.

DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 establishes requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories. The published documents name comemso eMobility Services GmbH, Calibration Services, in Ostfildern as the holder of accreditation D-K-22210-01-00.

Work in the comemso calibration laboratory. The accreditation documents below define the accredited activities and measurement ranges.

For a manufacturer of measurement and test systems, in-house metrology expertise strengthens the connection between product development, measurement accuracy and traceable calibration services. It also gives customers, including testing and calibration laboratories, one explicit evidence route for the published scope.

The accredited scope covers defined electrical calibration quantities. Published ranges include DC-voltage measurement and source values up to 1,000 V and DC-current measurement up to 500 A, supporting high-power charging measurement applications.

Competence

Technical capability is assessed for the activities and ranges listed in the accredited scope.

Impartiality

The laboratory framework separates attributable calibration evidence from broader product claims.

Consistency

Defined procedures and traceability support repeatable calibration results across the named scope.

  1. Reference

    Use a traceable reference.

  2. Calibrate

    Record the as-found result.

  3. Adjust

    Adjust if supported.

  4. Verify

    Check the defined criteria.

  5. Record

    Preserve the evidence.

  6. Release

    Release the verified result.

Service scope, evidence and ownership remain explicit.

The published documents are dated 30 March 2023. The current DAkkS database and valid scope remain authoritative.

Conformance test-system validation

Validated for defined CharIN CCTS application profiles.

The current CharIN register lists comemso as a validated test-system vendor for Charging System Basic and Charging System Extended DC EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment, or charging station) application profiles.

Profile 01

Charging System Basic

Validated CCTS scope based on the applicable CharIN specification and umbrella document for Basic DC EVSE.

Profile 02

Charging System Extended

Validated CCTS scope based on the applicable CharIN specification and umbrella document for Extended DC EVSE.

Validated test systemNamed setup and application profile
Certified customer productEV or EVSE under test

Scope remains explicit: CharIN validation supports conformance testing and development testing with the validated system. It does not turn every product, configuration or customer DUT into a certified object.

Traceability by design

From requirement to result, context stays attached.

A result becomes technical evidence only when the objective, configuration, test logic, measurement status and report remain attributable.

01

Test objective

DUT (device under test), role, risk and engineering decision.

02

Controlled configuration

Hardware, interface, software and options.

03

Versioned test logic

Standard, edition, profile and Test Library.

04

Traceable measurement

Calibration status, channels, timing and limits.

05

Reproducible evidence

Result, deviation, context and report object.

Questions and boundaries

Quality & Certifications FAQ

The decisive question is always the same: what exactly does the evidence cover?

Which ISO certifications does comemso state?

The public comemso company page states certification to ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management by DEKRA Certification GmbH. Current certificate copies, validity and covered entities should be checked before formal use.

What is the difference between certification and accreditation?

Management-system certification confirms that an organisation operates an audited management system. Laboratory accreditation confirms technical competence for the specific conformity-assessment activities listed in the accredited scope. The terms are not interchangeable.

Which legal entity holds accreditation D-K-22210-01-00?

The published accreditation documents name comemso eMobility Services GmbH, Calibration Services, in Ostfildern as the holder of accreditation D-K-22210-01-00.

What does the published calibration scope include?

The published scope covers electrical calibration quantities and includes DC-voltage measurement and source ranges up to 1,000 V and DC-current measurement ranges up to 500 A. The current DAkkS record and valid annex remain authoritative.
