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 accredited activities (ISO/IEC 17020 and 17025) are overseen by the Hungarian Accreditation Authority (NAH), while our PPE notified-body designation (NB 2233) is conferred and supervised by the national designating authority — 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.
