The WHG certification is a key compliance requirement under Germany’s Federal Water Act, embodying the European Union’s water protection directives at a regional level. Attaining this certification confirms the company’s full compliance with German water regulations, supporting its international expansion, particularly in Germany, while showcasing its commitment to environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
During the certification process, TÜV Süd conducted rigorous assessments of LEAD’s products, examining aspects such as equipment design, safety, and operational standards. Ultimately, LEAD passed all evaluation criteria with outstanding technical strength and comprehensive risk management capabilities. Attaining the WHG certification not only verifies the company’s compliance with German federal laws but also bolsters LEAD’s reputation for safety and reliability in the European market. It further underscores LEAD’s commitment to considering the entire product lifecycle and supporting global sustainable development.
At the recent certification ceremony, Russ Karlheinz, Senior Vice President of TÜV Süd’s Industrial Services Division, stated: “LEAD is our long-standing partner, and we have built a strong foundation of trust and collaboration through several projects across Europe. The success of this WHG certification not only supports LEAD in further expanding its presence in the European market but also demonstrates our mutual commitment to excellence. We look forward to expanding our cooperation into even more areas and achieving greater success together.”
A spokesperson from LEAD added: “The WHG certification marks a key milestone in our efforts to expand into the German and European markets. Moving forward, we plan to deepen our collaboration with more international authoritative organizations, including TÜV Süd, to continuously enhance the safety and environmental performance of our equipment, providing greener, compliant, and more efficient intelligent manufacturing solutions for global customers.”
