Voluntary Certification Marks for Electrical & Industrial Products: GS-Mark, S-Mark, and IECEE CB Scheme
When Compliance Should Be Visible
Everything else on the compliance staircase lives in documents: reports, verifications, attestations, certificates. Powerful but invisible on the shelf, on the shop floor, and in the buyer's hands.
Certification marks change that. A recognised third-party mark printed on your product tells customers, distributors, and authorities — instantly, without opening a single PDF — that an independent body has tested and certified it, and continues to verify its production through regular factory surveillance.
For manufacturers competing on quality, a flagship mark is not a cost of doing business. It's a sales argument.
Intertek operates some of the most recognised voluntary certification schemes in Europe and worldwide. Our experts will help you choose the mark — or combination of marks — that carries the most weight in your target markets.
S Mark Certification
Intertek exclusively provides the S Mark. Products bearing this Mark demonstrate compliance with legal European electrical safety requirements via third-party testing.
GS Mark Certification
The GS Mark is recognized throughout Germany and EU countries as a symbol of safety. Adoption of the GS Mark minimizes manufacturers' risk of product liability and provides manufacturers with the confidence that their products are safe, legal and of high quality.
IECEE CB Scheme Certification for Global Market Access
Intertek offers manufacturers a simplified way of obtaining multiple national safety certifications for their products as a Certification Body in the CB Scheme.
Bauart geprüft Mark – Demonstrating verified product safety
The Bauart geprüft certification mark creates confidence among customers, business partners, and regulatory authorities and demonstrates the safety and quality of your product.
