About BGS Böhme & Gehring
BGS Böhme & Gehring GmbH is a service provider specializing in vehicle safety, based in Bergisch Gladbach. Since its founding in the 1980s, the company has been carrying out dummy certifications in accordance with current test specifications. Today its testing portfolio covers around twenty different dummy types and sizes – from the 3.5 kg newborn child dummy through WorldSID and THOR to the 103 kg adult dummy. In addition, BGS calibrates most of the sensor types installed in crash test dummies. Another area of activity is the performance of vehicle-side pedestrian protection tests, which the company began as early as the 1990s; these support research, development, type approvals and consumer protection. The know-how, which is constantly updated through participation in international committees, is also passed on to customers in the form of training courses and seminars. All areas of activity are also available to third parties for individual projects.
