The Bauart geprüft certification mark creates confidence among customers, business partners, and regulatory authorities and demonstrates the safety and quality of your product.
The Intertek Bauart geprüft (Type Tested) Mark is a voluntary quality and safety certification mark for manufacturers of electrical products, assemblies, and components. It confirms that a representative sample of your product has been tested by Intertek — an independent testing and certification body — against defined safety requirements.
The mark creates confidence among customers, business partners, and regulatory authorities, and makes the safety and quality of your product visible.
What Does "Bauart geprüft" Mean?
"Bauart geprüft" translates as "type tested." The mark confirms that a representative production sample (Baumuster) of your product has been evaluated by Intertek as an independent body — and that your production is subject to ongoing surveillance to keep it that way.
What Can Be Tested?
Almost all electrical products, assemblies, and components can be evaluated within the Type Tested certification process. Testing is performed in accordance with the applicable national, European, or international standards. Where no suitable product standard exists, the evaluation is carried out against a specifically defined Intertek testing program tailored to your product and its application.
That flexibility is the mark's quiet strength: it covers innovative products and components that fall between existing standards — exactly the products that struggle to prove their safety any other way.
How Does the Certification Process Work?
- Testing of a representative product sample in an accredited Intertek laboratory — or directly at your manufacturing site.
- Detailed test report documenting the results.
- Initial inspection of your manufacturing facility to verify that your production processes ensure consistent product quality.
- Issuance of the Intertek Type Tested Certificate upon successful completion of the evaluation.
- Regular factory inspections to ensure continued product quality and ongoing compliance with the certification requirements.
