VDE MarkVDE GS Mark

The VDE Certification Marks are registered and protected in more than 30 countries. Manufacturers in more than 50 countries affix the VDE Mark to their products. In numerous countries, the VDE Mark is a standard condition for importing goods. In some cases, it is even more demanding than local approval marks.

Aside from the well-known VDE Marks, the certification of products with the ENEC Mark by the VDE Institute as signatory body of the ENEC agreement is accepted in almost all European countries.

  • The ENEC Mark is the European conformity mark for electro technical products commonly agreed among the national certification bodies of European states.
  • The ENEC Mark stands for conformity with applicable European safety standards (EN).
  • It is granted by one (and only one) of the certification bodies participating in the ENEC Agreement.
  • Certification bodies of other European states are obliged to treat products rightfully bearing the ENEC Mark in the same way as if they had granted the ENEC Mark themselves. Certification by another body is no longer required. Thus the ENEC Mark serves the free movement of goods in the European Economic Area including Switzerland and increasingly also in the markets of Eastern Europe.

After testing of an electro technical product with positive result on the basis of applicable European Norms by the VDE Institute, the certificate (license) for the use of the commonly agreed mark together with the well-known VDE mark will be granted.
With such a mark combination, VDE mark‘s high reputation is perfectly linked with European-wide accepted ENEC mark, to ensure the safe product being sold in the European market without any problem. The ENEC mark is legally protected by the cooperative certification body.

Meanwhile the ENEC mark is applicable now for worldwide manufacturers.
