PRODUCT SAFETY

Although mandatory CE marking has a purpose for enforcement authorities throughout the European Union, it does not actually give German customers any information at all.

However, an electrical, mechanical or electro-mechanical product bearing the GS Mark indicates that it was tested and complies with the minimum requirements of the German Device Safety Act.

The GS Mark is, in fact, a licensed Mark of the German government, which may only be issued by an accredited product safety testing and certification agency.

SIEMIC provides Germany GS-Mark Certification Services to assist our customers accessing German market.

The following documents together with one test sample are required.

• CB Test Report /Certificate
• List of critical components (CDF Construction Data Form)
• Type approved license of critical components
• Photo documentation
• PCB Layout & circuit diagram of applicable and product specification
• User’s manual in German

Generally annual factory inspection is required according to the German Product Safety Law. For particular products more strict controls may be enforced.

SIEMIC coordinates the testing and prepare the documentation necessary to meet all requirements appropriate for your product to get certification of compliance to GS-Mark.
