Temu Partners with Global Testing and Certification Giant DEKRA to Focus on Platform Compliance and Quality Assurance

Ebrun Original | February 16 – According to foreign media reports, Temu, the cross-border e-commerce platform under Pinduoduo, has announced a partnership with global testing, inspection, and certification organization DEKRA to strengthen product safety, compliance management, and quality assurance systems on the Temu platform.

Under the cooperation plan, DEKRA will provide independent testing services for certain categories of electrical and electronic products on Temu, including automotive electronic equipment, household electronics, and related products. DEKRA's testing and certification services will be integrated into Temu's seller center system, enabling merchants to directly obtain testing and certification support through the platform.

Temu requires sellers of certain high-risk categories—such as toys, high-voltage electrical products, and heating equipment—to submit compliance testing documents issued by internationally leading testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) agencies before listing their products for sale.

This collaboration with DEKRA is part of Temu's ongoing efforts to increase investment in product safety and compliance.

In 2025, Temu invested approximately $100 million globally to strengthen compliance management, product safety reviews, and quality control system construction, with plans to double this investment in 2026. To date, Temu has established partnerships with more than 20 internationally renowned TIC agencies, including DEKRA.

It is reported that DEKRA is a global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) organization founded in 1925 and headquartered in Germany. It initially started with vehicle inspection and road safety services.

After nearly a century of development, DEKRA has become one of the world's largest independent, non-listed testing and certification professional organizations, with business covering automotive and transportation, industrial equipment, electrical and electronic products, consumer goods testing, information security, sustainability audits, and other fields.

In 2024, DEKRA achieved revenue of 4.3 billion euros. The company operates in approximately 60 countries worldwide, employing about 48,000 people, and provides services such as product testing, compliance certification, quality audits, and risk assessments for enterprises.

At the national and regional levels, DEKRA has traditional strengths in its home market of Germany, where it is one of the key organizations for vehicle inspection and industrial safety certification. In European countries such as France, Spain, and Italy, it also holds a strong market share in automotive testing and industrial certification. As an important certification body within the EU system, DEKRA has high credibility across the entire EU market.

At the same time, the company has branches and laboratories in major economies such as the United States, Japan, and South Korea, participating in local testing and certification businesses for electrical and electronic products, automotive parts, and industrial equipment. In parts of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, DEKRA also provides compliance certification services for export-oriented enterprises seeking to enter the European market.
