VDMA Specification
The standard of the most important mechanical engineering industry association in Europe
VDMA Specifications are technical rules that are efficiently developed on a wide variety of topics in mechanical engineering within VDMA working groups.
Like other standards, they serve to promote the competitiveness of the mechanical engineering industry and are becoming increasingly important, especially in the case of current topics and challenges.
