Product Certification

Certification Marks assure quality

The product certification process is an effective mechanism for assessing compliance with regulations and standards addressing safety, quality and other product characteristics.

Pre-market approval and certification is a legal requirement for manufacturers of many types of products, components and accessories seeking access to major markets worldwide. In addition to meeting mandatory certification requirements, manufacturers may also choose to have their products tested for compliance with the technical requirements of voluntary standards. By submitting their products to additional voluntary testing and certification, companies can differentiate their products from those of competitors, and further demonstrate their commitment to providing buyers and consumers with quality products that are also safe to use.

TÜV SÜD is globally recognised as a leading independent product Certification Body, providing services for a wide range of products for both mandatory and voluntary certification and approval schemes. TÜV SÜD’s distinctive blue octagon mark is instantly recognised by buyers and consumers everywhere as a symbol of quality and safety.
