VDE Certification Marks 

  

The following certification marks / attestations are available after positive testing of your products by the VDE Institute:

For electrotechnical products including products according to the Appliance and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and Medical Product Act (MPG).
The VDE Mark indicates conformity with the VDE standards or European or internationally harmonized standards resp. and confirms compliance with protective requirements of the applicable EC Directive(s). The VDE Mark is a symbol for electrical, mechanical, thermal, toxic, radiological and other hazards.

 

For technical working equipment and commodities ready for use, in the sense of the GPSG (optional for such products instead of VDE Mark).

For technical working equipment or commodities ready for use, in the sense of the GPSG, the licence holder may chose to affix the VDE Mark or the VDE GS Mark. 
 
For products certified on the basis of harmonized certification agreements.
Testing is based on harmonized European standards listed in the ENEC Agreement. Products (at present luminaires and related components, energy saving lamps, IT equipment, transformers, switches for appliances, electrical controls, connectors, applicance couplers, certain types of capacitors and EMI suppression components) tested to the listed standards may be marked with the ENEC Mark of the VDE. The approval of any other body participating in the ENEC Agreement is not required.
 
For appliances in compliance with standards for electromagnetic compatibility.
The VDE EMC Mark expresses the conformity of a product with applicable standards for electromagnetic compatibility. The reliable function of the product in its electromagnetic environment is also included. The requirements for granting this mark comprise automatically and without restriction the compliance with applicable standards.
 
For cables, insulated cords, installation conduits and ducts, the VDE Cable Mark is applicable.
 
For cables and cords, the VDE Identification Thread may be used.
 
or
VDE-HARmonization Marking
 
The VDE HARmonization Marking or VDE HARmonization Thread resp. for cables and insulated cords according to harmonized certification procedures.
Testing is based on the Harmonization Documents (HD) listed in the HAR Agreement. Products (harmonized power cables) tested and found in compliance with the requirements of the mentioned standards may be marked with the VDE HARmonization Marking.
 
The IECQ-CECC Mark for electronic components according to IECQ and CECC specifications.
For electronic components according to IECQ and CECC specifications the IECQ-CECC Mark may be used (IEC quality system for electronic components).
 
or
VDE-REG.-Nr. XXXXX
 

VDE-Reg.-Nr. (VDE Certificate of Conformity in conjunction with factory surveillance)
This mark is used in two cases: firstly, for products in compliance with applicable clauses of VDE standards in the absence of a fully applicable VDE standard, and secondly, if a product, e.g. a sub-assembly, requires the fulfillment of additional conditions when incorporated into complete equipment. For cables and insulated cords, the VDE-Reg.-Nr. or the relevant mark resp. is applicable in absence of special regulations for products which were tested on the basis of other standards. Special constructions and all variations of non-harmonized cables and insulated cords belong to this category of products.

Conformity attestations for EC Declaration of Conformity and CE marking

CE marking is a condition for the initial marketing of a product in the European Economic Area. This mandatory marking is applicable to many products. The manufacturer must declare conformity with relevant EC Directives and subsequently affix CE marking on the product or the accompanying documentation. In order to support our clients in this context, we automatically provide together with the VDE Marks Licence Certificate - where applicable - documentation relevant to CE marking and a ready-to-sign EC Declaration of Conformity as required by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
