(Oscar Wilde)

All products meet the same high quality and safety standards that Mercedes-Benz expects of its vehicles as a high-end manufacturer. This is possible thanks to complex testing and approval processes, regular monitoring and strict production guidelines.

The internal standards applied by Mercedes-Benz comfortably exceed legal requirements. Exhaustive quality checks, such as those carried out on carrier systems, can take as long as four months. All parts and components are thoroughly tested using saltwater spray systems, road tests on poor surfaces, handling checks and vibration tests. All Genuine Accessories are exposed to significantly higher stress loads than they will ever encounter in actual driving situations.

Collection products must also comply with strict testing standards before being approved by Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH. The material quality and properties of each product are extensively examined by the Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), which was founded in 1878. No product is approved for production unless it has successfully completed these tests.
