The Faculty Meeting on April 28, 2022 took place in the TÜV AUSTRIA Technology & Innovation Center in 1230 Vienna.

  • Christoph Schwald spoke introductory words of welcome and introduced the TÜV AUSTRIA group of companies.
  • Wolfgang Kastner explained the tasks to be solved by the PhDs in the two workshops.
  • Two PhD workshops took place.
  • This was followed by a tour of the EMC hall and a tour of the S3 Lab and the vehicle test sector.
  • Joachim Rajek presented the TIC Lab (Testing – Inspection – Certification) using slides with examples.

Today’s TÜV AUSTRIA group of companies came into being as a result of a rapid global acquisition of companies.

"TÜV AUSTRIA is a leading, international and independent service provider for integrated management of safety, quality, environment, resources and training".

The results of this process should form the basis for three publications that deal with specific research questions, solution approaches and possible evaluations based on use cases (S3Labor or TU Laboratories; TU Pilotfabrik; at the stakeholders). Further elaboration/work on the publications takes place after the faculty meeting.

Guided tour of the EMC hall

The EMV absorber hall is a multifunctional EMV measuring and testing facility for evaluating the emission and immunity properties of devices, systems and components. The test stand offers the necessary space and technical performance at a high level in order to be able to carry out extensive measurements and tests on a wide variety of components.

TÜV AUSTRIA TIC Lab

DI Dr. Joachim Rajek presented the TIC Lab (Testing – Inspection – Certification), the Industry & Energy division of the TÜV AUSTRIA Group. The services include the areas of mechanics & materials as well as electronics & environment. A test field of 13×20 meters is available in the arsenal for testing components. A trailer hitch test was shown as an example of the mechanical testing according to the CARLOS TC (CARLOS TC/BC is the industry standard for durability testing of trailer hitches).
