Deutschland GmbH. Most recently, ISO 9001 was success-
fully introduced at AVL Maroc SARL AU.
The safety of our employees has always been a top priority
for AVL: Reducing risks in the workplace and improving
working conditions are of great importance to us. The man-
agement system with ISO 45001 certification (occupational
health and safety) since 2021 will continue to support us
with this in the future.
AVL also recognized the importance of the field of infor-
mation security early on. As early as 2010, we obtained ISO
27001 certification (information security) for our manage-
ment system. This proves to our customers that we protect
information appropriately in line with the latest technology.
Continuously adapting our security measures in response
to current threats and risks enables us to ensure the confi-
dentiality, integrity, and availability of information through-
out the entire AVL Group. For specific requirements in the
automotive sector, AVL also complies with standards such
as TISAX and ISO/SAE 21434 to protect networked vehicles
from cyberattacks.
Together, the five certifications currently held form the core
of the Integrated Management System at AVL. Work on
global compliance with these standards has been ongoing
since their introduction.
In addition, our business unit Instrumentation and Test
Systems decided to apply for accreditation as an ISO 17025
calibration laboratory in the field of flow measurement (fuel
consumption) in 2010. We were granted initial accreditation
in 2012. Several extensions with new calibration methods
were added in the years that followed – e.g., gas concen-
tration, particle count, etc. – and these were confirmed by
the “Akkreditierung Austria” office. A success story made
possible by the commitment of our employees.
And the latest? AVL headquarters in Graz passed the TÜV
SÜD recertification audit with flying colors in 2023, as in
previous years. This means that we will hold the group
certificate of the headquarters for a further three years.
In order to be able to guarantee this status beyond that,
internal audits are carried out on a regular basis at the
headquarters and at our subsidiaries.
Here, special thanks go to Prof. Helmut List, who has driven
all these activities from the very beginning on his own ini-
tiative, has committed himself personally to the further de-
velopments, and has supported them to the fullest extent.
Companies like AVL will continue to face major challenges
in the future: With the ISO certifications as a basis, we have
the best prerequisites for overcoming all future hurdles. And
for continuing to deliver the highest quality – for a better
world of mobility.
