The Test centre

Vehicle windows and doors must be easy to use and understandable not only for passengers. Their true qualities are not even directly recognisable: For example, vehicle windows must withstand the strongest wind loads when two trains meet at high speed. In addition, they must be perfectly thermally sealed and offer maximum safety.


These and numerous other tests and test series on all the requirements that modern windows and doors for vehicles must meet today are carried out by us at Cleff and by partner companies. Our test centre enables all quality tests to be carried out in accordance with the DIN standards required for vehicle windows and doors; and these tests are always based on our own high standards.


In this way, we ensure that every product can be quickly and reliably subjected to standard-compliant tests and only leaves our company in the best quality to be used in the most diverse vehicles of our customers worldwide. But our test centre is also open to you: With our range of services for testing your products, we accompany test series with professional guidance. You will then receive all meaningful test results for further use.
