At VDL ETS, we test to the highest quality standards. In our state-of-the-art 2,500 m² testing facility, we combine technical expertise with flexible test setups. We support OEMs and suppliers in accelerating innovation and reducing risk during development and production.
Expertise in four key testing labs
Our experienced professionals deliver accurate and repeatable results across four specialized testing labs. With extensive facilities and advanced methods, we support both development and validation phases. Discover our labs:
Certified quality and trusted results
Our operations are certified to ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 reflecting our commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and information security. As an independent partner, we guarantee objective and transparent test results.
More than just testing
In addition to testing services, we design, build and commission custom test facilities. From concept to commissioning, we support the entire development process.


The largest independent battery testing facilities is the Benelux, specialized in testing cells, modules & packs through advanced non destructive electrical & mechanical methods.

Our Strength and Durability Lab is equipped to handle a variety of test to ensure the performance and durability of mechanical systems and components.

Our Component Lab offers a range of tests to evaluate the integrity and performance of various componants.

Vehicle testing ensures functional performance and safety starting from Design Verification Plans through commissioning and homologation to confirmation of regulation compliance.
Reliable testing depends on accurate measurement tools. The calibration lab supports this by performing most instrument calibrations in-house. With certified reference standards and trained technicians, all instruments meet the quality level required in the VDL ETS test environment.
The calibration lab supports the battery lab, the component lab, the strength and durability lab, and the vehicle test lab. This ensures consistent and repeatable measurements across different types of tests.
The calibration lab maintains several traceable standards that allow calibration of:
These standards help keep the measurement systems used in all VDL ETS testing labs accurate and reliable.
