What they argued
DEKRA is an international independent testing, inspection and certification company with almost 44,000 employees in 50 countries, which conducts more than 26 million inspections across 22 countries each year. Founded more than 95 years ago as the German Vehicle Inspection Association, vehicle inspection is at the heart of DEKRA.
