German GS certification
Product range:
The meaning of GS GS is "Geprufte Sicherheit" in German, which also means "Germany Safety". GS certification is based on the German Product Safety Act (GPGS), in accordance with the EU unified standard EN or German industrial standard DIN for testing a voluntary certification, is a German safety certification mark recognized in the European market.
Products that can apply for GS certification are:
1. Household appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, kitchen utensils, etc.
2. Household machinery.
3. Sports goods.
4. Household electronic devices, such as audio-visual equipment.
5. Electrical and electronic office equipment, such as copiers, fax machines, shredders, computers, printers, etc.
6. Industrial machinery, experimental measurement equipment.
7. Other safety-related products such as bicycles, helmets, ladders, furniture, etc.
GS safety certification mark
The 1.GS mark is a safety certification mark issued by TUV, VDE and other institutions authorized by the German Ministry of Labor.
GS mark is a safety mark accepted by the majority of customers in Europe. Generally, GS-certified products are sold at a higher unit price and sell better.
2. EC CE stipulates that 1997.1.1. "Low Voltage Directive (LVD)" is regulated. GS already contains all the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD). Therefore, after obtaining the GS mark, some institutions will exceptionally issue the CE certificate (COC) of the LVD of the product free of charge, and the manufacturer obtains the LVD certificate at the same time as applying for GS.
3. Requirements for products and documents for GS certification:
- The product should pass the type test of European safety standards.
- The product structure should meet the requirements of the standard.
- The instructions (in German, English) should comply with the standard.
- English documents such as "Structure Diagram", "Circuit Diagram", "Parts List" prepared as required, product testing will be carried out according to the parameters provided in these documents.
4. GS certification has strict requirements for the quality assurance system of the factory, and the factory should be reviewed and inspected annually:
- Require factories to establish their own quality assurance system according to ISO9000 system standards when shipping in batches. The factory must at least have its own quality control system, quality records and other documents and sufficient production and inspection capabilities.
- Before issuing GS certificate, the new factory must be examined and qualified before the GS certificate is issued.
- After the issuance of the certificate, the factory shall be audited at least once a year. No matter how many products the factory applies for the TUV mark, the factory only needs 1 inspection.

GS Certification - Role
The GS mark indicates that the safety of use of the product has been tested by a credible independent organization. The GS mark, although not mandatory by law, does allow manufacturers to be subject to strict German (European) product safety laws in the event of an accident caused by a product failure. Therefore, the GS logo is a powerful marketing tool that can enhance customer confidence and purchase desire. Although GS is a German standard, it is recognized by the vast majority of European countries. And while meeting GS certification, the product will also meet the CE marking requirements of the European Community. Unlike CE, GS marking is not legally mandatory, but because safety awareness has penetrated into ordinary consumers, an electrical appliance with GS mark may be more competitive in the market than general products.
