GS Mark

GS Mark signals to the buyer, customer, or consumer that the chosen product as well as the user manual and production (process) have been tested by an authorised institution such as TÜV Rheinland Product Safety, with priority being given to aspects of safety. In the meantime, the German GS-mark has been recognised as one of the crucial marks within product safety.

The TUV Rheinland GS Mark has its roots in the German equipment safety law but the literal translation of "GS" does not stand for German safety, but rather "safety-tested". Typically, the electrical safety aspects of a product are evaluated, tested and certified in conjunction with the issuance of this Marking. The TUV Rheinland GS Mark is a voluntary test mark. It is attached to a product to highlight that a third party has tested the products safety and that a continuous production control is maintained. In the past decade, members of the European Union have become accustom to seeing the mark on consumer Products. The TUV Rheinland GS Mark demonstrates the following:

• A representative sample of the product has been evaluated, tested an approved for safety.
• The production line is inspected on an annual basis.
• TUV Rheinland GS Mark may also provide you with a marketing advantage since it is a voluntary mark.

In contrast to the TUV Rheinland GS Mark, CE Marking is the manufacturer's self-declaration, and does not prove compliance to all applicable directives. For most products sold in the EU, the use of the CE Marking and a Declaration of Conformity are mandatory. With the exception of some high risk products, most products can be self-declared by the manufacturer to meet the Essential Requirements. While the CE Marking does permit a product's access to the EU, it is not an approval, certification or quality mark; nor is a marketing tool. CE Marking is a "mark' that is only a declaration of the supplier's own responsibility. While enabling products to be placed on the European market, it allows for the free movement of goods and permits the withdrawal of nonconforming products.
