text: Depends, in the German speaking world mostly one syllabe is used ("tyf"), but still some people use "teh y fow", internationally t-u-v is pronounced using the 3 letters separate and in the local language's sound value.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.75.180.249 (talk) 10:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This part of the article is just copied from company advertizing and definitely overrates the company's importance in Telecommunications. It even uses "we" when talking about the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.75.180.249  (talk • contribs) 10:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks, I guess it is a bit more objective now. Another comment: Reading this it is suggested to the reader that TUV Sud Product Services (I believe that is the correct English name) is based in the South West of England, but to my knowledge their HQ is in Munich, Germany. They acquired a major UK lab and BABT some 10 years ago, but have also a substantial presence in Italy, USA and East Asia....I have the impression that someone from the UK division wrote the contribution, focusing on the part of the company where he is working...:). For reasons of objectivity it should also be mentioned, that TUV Rhineland operates a similar company, larger than TUV Sud Product Services in most countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.96.228.89  (talk • contribs) 08:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  TUV Product Service 

message: The article lead contains the following paragraph:
Some of the TÜV certificates are also recognized in various countries: eg the United Kingdom, TÜV Product Service or the United States, the TÜV SÜD America and TUV Rheinland of North America TUVus mark (NRTL mark, equivalent listing as for example UL Mark), Argentina and Japan (e.g. according to DENAN/PAL law). TÜV SÜD America and TUV Rheinland of North America cTUVus Marks are equivalent to a CSA or UL North American Mark. The "c" stands for Canada and the "us" stands for USA. TÜV also offers access to more markets (market access) than most other notified bodies/certification bodies.
I can't make heads or tails of this paragraph; I can't even clarify it because I really have no idea what it is trying to say.  It is not clear which certificates or business divisions pertain to which countries.  If anyone more knowledgeable of the company can fix this up, it would be much appreciated.  Otherwise, I'll probably just delete the whole paragraph and let someone recreate it from scratch when then notice that it's missing. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I do not agree that SGS is the only competitor of TÜV on a group/global scale. What about Bureau Veritas (61,000 employees) and Intertek (35,000 employees). They are mentioned on SGS' page as competitors of SGS, so it is only logical that they are mentioned on TÜVs page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.28.31.74  (talk • contribs) 16:10, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
