MA 39 in Simmering: Highest awards for safety and quality!
The City of Vienna's testing, inspection and certification center, MA 39, is not only an integral part of Vienna's security landscape, but has now also received a highly respected award. This over 140-year-old institution in Simmering has been awarded a seal of approval for excellent compliance management by Quality Austria. This certifies that MA 39 has the highest standards in the areas of transparency, integrity and responsibility Vienna district newspaper reported.
Historical roots and modern technology
The MA 39 was founded in 1879, originally as a “testing station” for building materials as part of the ring road construction. Today the institution has developed into an indispensable partner in ensuring quality and safety. The modern laboratories on Rinnböckstrasse are equipped with special facilities, including an impressive fire test hall. Here, even multi-story structures can be tested for their stability in realistic fire tests. These tests not only concern walls, beams and roofs, but also the city's drinking water quality, which means the department actively contributes to the safety and health of the Viennese population, as the information from Quality Austria makes clear.
Compliance as a lived practice
Compliance, i.e. adhering to legal and ethical requirements, is very important in MA 39. Dieter Werner, the department head, emphasizes the importance of transparency and traceability of all measures. The recent certification according to ISO 37301 by Quality Austria certifies that the body is doing everything right in this area too. This certification is not only a sign of success, but also an incentive to continuously maintain and expand the high standards, as explained on the TÜV Austria website.
As the news shows, MA 39 is not only the oldest, but also one of the most advanced testing centers in Austria. Innovative technologies and a tireless spirit of innovation characterize our daily work and ensure that the people of Vienna can rely on the highest safety standards.
The unique offering of this institution is rounded off by a wide range of services, ranging from fire protection to hospital and kitchen hygiene to radiation protection calculations. The MA 39 therefore remains not only an example of living tradition, but also of future-oriented technology and quality assurance in Europe.
