For 80 years, Hohenstein have been testing, certifying, and advising independently – with scientific precision, practical relevance, and a clear understanding of values.

What makes us special is not just our expertise. It is our commitment to taking responsibility: For the products we test. For the people who use them. For a future that affects us all.

With our headquarter in Germany Hohenstein operates worldwide. We live and breathe diligence – openly, reliably and solution-oriented. We are testing experts for textiles, consumer goods and medical devices. With one goal: to build trust – with integrity.

Hohenstein is an accredited testing laboratory for biological, chemical and physical testing of medical devices. 

We also offer safety tests on medical devices in compliance with the principles of GLP.

Medical devices must meet product-specific performance requirements and must be assessed for biocompatibility. This applies to both new approvals and changes to products already on the market.

We provide you with neutral proof of the efficacy and safety of your product.

Our tests form the basis for the necessary evidence you need for your technical documentation. This is a prerequisite for your medical device to be compliant with the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and thus allowed to be placed on the market in Europe. With GLP-compliant tests, you meet the regulatory requirements for international markets.

We combine the highest technical standards with personal service: whether it's a testing strategy, individual questions or short processing times – your requirements are our focus.
