A third party provider (probably a loan translation of the English third-party vendor and this formed from third-party or third party for “third party” or “third party”) or third party provider is - mainly in the EDP or IT sector - a person or a company that offers additional services or components, such as network products or other spare parts for products and product families, without belonging to the supplier of the product to the first supplier or being commissioned by him (as a second supplier). The manufacturer is in accordance with third party (English third-party manufacturer ) or third party called. The terms are often used with the same meaning, since the manufacturer usually appears as a supplier in the wholesale trade .

As a third-party test (from English third party test ) is called a test or series of tests by an accredited, certified, independent laboratory or institution. Because of the neutral, independent assessment, these results (by an independent third party) are preferred or required by manufacturers to independent tests and investigations.

The terms are widely used in marketing , for example for suppliers of car spare parts and accessories (such as floor mats ), consumer electronics (such as chargers ), telephone companies and much more.

Third party computer game providers

The term spread among other things through video and computer games (in this context more like third-party developer , English for "third party developer "). In the video game industry, it is common for third-party companies to be allowed to sell products for the platforms ( e.g. Playstation or Wii ) of the so-called first manufacturers (see also Video Game Crash ). While in the early days of video games the most important game titles came from the manufacturers of the platforms themselves, the importance of third-party manufacturers has steadily increased. Nowadays, the first manufacturers (currently only Sony , Nintendo and Microsoft ) often fight for exclusive rights to certain game titles or series of the third-party manufacturers so that they appear exclusively on their respective consoles.
