German GS certification introduction

The meaning of GS is German "Geprufte Sicherheit" (safety has been certified), and it also means "Germany Safety" (German safety). GS certification is a voluntary certification based on the German Product Safety Law (SGS) and tested in accordance with the European Union standard EN or the German industrial standard DIN. It is a recognized German safety certification mark in the European market.

The GS certification mark indicates that the safety of the product has been tested by an independent organization with credibility. Although the GS certification mark is not a legally mandatory requirement, it does make the manufacturer subject to strict German (European) product safety laws when the product fails and causes an accident. Therefore, the GS certification mark is a powerful market tool that can enhance customers' confidence and desire to purchase. Although GS is a German standard, most European countries agree. And while meeting the GS certification, the products will also meet the requirements of the European Community's CE mark. Unlike CE, the GS certification mark has no legal requirements, but because the safety awareness has penetrated into ordinary consumers, an electrical appliance with GS certification mark may be more competitive than ordinary products in the market.
