Your partner for safety and technology.
I am your independent consultant for product and legal compliance, technical safety, employee protection and technical documentation. As an engineer and safety specialist, I combine technical expertise with my motto: “Focus On Safety”.

My aim is not to offer standard solutions, but to develop individual concepts that are legally and technically feasible. I test and examine technical products and systems and accompany you from the idea to implementation.

“As a specialist in product safety and product documentation, I offer you tailor-made services: from the creation of safety concepts and the clarification of standard and legal issues to the preparation of the necessary documentation. I also share my knowledge in practice-oriented training programs.”

My values.

Openness & honesty.

I rely on clear and transparent communication to promote a trusting working relationship.

Trust and respect.

My actions are based on trust and respect in order to achieve sustainable solutions together.

Professionalism.

I work with the utmost care, commitment and reliability to always deliver professional results.

Vision.

Through my active participation in national (ASI, ÖVE), European (CEN, CENELEC, DKE, DIN) and international standardization committees (ISO, IEC), I recognize changes at an early stage and represent the interests of my customers and partners. I use my expertise to influence the creation of standards and actively help shape their content. As an interface between clients and public stakeholders such as authorities, associations and the European Commission, I am committed to effectively representing concerns and developing solutions. Do you have questions about legal and normative standards or would you like to help shape them yourself? I will be happy to help you!

Focus.

Our specialization in technical safety, operational safety and technical documentation allows us to respond specifically to the individual needs of our customers. Thanks to continuous training and market observation in Europe, Asia, Oceania and America, we are always up to date and offer you competent and customized solutions.
