What is German GS certification?
The meaning of GS is German "Geprufte Sicherheit" (safety certified), and also "Germany Safety" (Germany Safety). GS certification is a voluntary certification based on the German Product Safety Law (GPGS) and tested in accordance with the European Union's unified standard EN or the German industrial standard DIN. It is a German safety certification mark recognized in the European market.
GS certification is the only legally controlled safety certification in Europe except CE. It is highly recognized in the German market. German consumers will have more confidence in products with this certification mark when purchasing products. .
Although GS is a German standard, the vast majority of European countries agree. And meet the GS certification at the same time, the product will also meet the requirements of the European Community's CE mark. Unlike CE, there is no legal requirement for the GS certification mark. However, because the safety awareness has penetrated into ordinary consumers, an electrical appliance with the GS certification mark may be more competitive than ordinary products in the market.
