The steam engine marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, but now more and more machines are powered by electricity.

In fact, Bavaria has had “Revisions-Vereinfür elektrische Anlagen” – Association for Inspection of Electrical Installations” since 1900. Many members were also members of the “Dampfkessel – Revisions-Verein” – “Steam Boiler Inspection Association” who used both technologies in their companies.

It was logical for the two Associations to merge and to form the “Bayerischer Revisionsverein” – “Bavarian Inspection Association” in 1903. In the same year, the Bavarian Control Association established the electricity sector.
