High Voltage Testing and Engineering Commission

Portrait

Concept

The High Voltage Testing an Engineering Commission (FKH) pursues non-profit scopes of engineering research and development as well as the supply of services over the area of electricity supply and high voltage technology. The function of the association shall forward the capability of and secure the electrical supply. The cooperation with technical colleges shall be encouraged in addition as well as the junior engineers with the offer of practice related operations. The aims of the FKH are exclusively oriented toward technology. She doesn’t have any commercial aims. The funds of the association have to be used according to the articles of the association.

Organisation of FKH

Quality

FKH offers its services in compliance with internationally recognised business standards and operates a management system certified to ISO 9001 and ISO45001.
