New solutions for a modern, agile quality infrastructure
"Made in Germany" stands for trust in quality and safety, which should also apply in the digital and green transformation. In an increasingly digitalised world, quality assurance of products, processes, and services must also be rethought. Our goal is to make our proven quality infrastructure (QI) even better. For modern and efficient quality assurance.
As central players in German QI, we have joined forces to develop concrete solutions for innovative use cases. In doing so, a holistic and practice-oriented approach is important to us. We explicitly invite companies in Germany to contribute with their needs and ideas, thus creating a comprehensive network.
Mission
In the QI-Digital initiative, we raise the potentials of new technologies for a more efficient quality assurance. In this way, we support the design of modern QI for the digital and green transformation of the economy. And we make a contribution to solve socio-economic, ecological, and technological challenges of our time.
Implementation
For a modern QI
- we develop new digital and integrated structures and procedures (digital quality infrastructure)
- we work together on solutions in practical, cooperative, and interdisciplinary pilot projects
- we establish a network of business, research, and QI stakeholders
- we support the design of an adapted legal framework
Become part of the network
We think of the quality infrastructure as an overall system and drive digitalization forward across institutions.
Together with users, we want to develop targeted solutions for their specific requirements and problems and put them into practice.
To this end, we are creating a network for knowledge transfer for a future-proof QI.

“With QI-Digital, we are finally breaking free of silo thinking. This will create significant added value for Germany as a location for quality.”
Dr. Joachim Bühler, CEO, TÜV Association
“From a business and industry perspective, there can be no doubt about the relevance and necessity of this initiative. If we do it right, it will help the stakeholders in the competitive field to realize their formula for success: ‘Cut costs, boost innovation!’”
Markus Reigl, Director Technical Regulation & Standardisation, Siemens AG
“Quality is what distinguishes the German economy. Only if quality assurance and the quality infrastructure arrive in the 21st century can we be internationally leading. We are therefore working together on the realization of machine-readable and machine-executable standards - smart standards for QI-Digital.”
Christoph Winterhalter, CEO DIN - Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.
“Innovations and new technologies need confidence in their security. With QI-Digital we create solutions for modern quality assurance that meet the requirements of the digital and green transformation.”
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Panne, President Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)
“With QI-Digital, we make good things even better: we increase the efficiency of the system. In doing so, accreditation also creates trust in the work of conformity assessment bodies in the digital and virtual space, whose services are needed in many areas of the economy.”
Dr. Stephan Finke - CEO Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle (DAkkS)
“German products enjoy an excellent reputation for quality. We need a digital quality infrastructure to ensure that this promise of quality made by the German economy can still be kept in a digital world. That is why we are working together to develop digital certificates and a QI cloud.”
Prof. Dr. Cornelia Denz, President Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)
