Introduction to Digital Signatures and QR Code Verification System

In the business world today, digital signatures are widely used in sensitive electronic documents. They enable any recipient of electronically signed documents to verify conveniently the integrity and authenticity, which increases trust in the issuing source. To further enhance this trust and add an additional layer of security, we at TÜV Rheinland have integrated not only digital signatures into your documents but also a QR code-based online verification system.

This QR code system is our latest innovation in ensuring the authenticity and integrity of our test reports and documents. Upon request or as required by specific accreditation schemes, a unique QR code will be included in your documents. This QR code serves as a gateway to our exclusive verification website, www.certipedia.com, allowing for a quick and reliable method to authenticate the document's validity. Each QR code contains a unique ID with billions of combinations, making it virtually impossible to replicate or guess. This ensures that only individuals with the physical document can access and verify its contents online, effectively safeguarding against unauthorized access.

At TÜV Rheinland, we work tirelessly to deliver efficiency in our service delivery to safeguard your organization’s innovation. We strongly believe this initiative, modernizing the last step of report and certificate processing with digital signatures and QR code verification, will add certainty to our documents. With these measures in place, you can focus on growing your business and not worry about the credibility and validity of the reports and certificates. To ease your transition to this new process, we have prepared some frequently asked questions for your reference.
