More Introduction

1. Introduction of GS certification

GS certification is a voluntary certification based on the German Product Safety Law (SGS) 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. As a product safety and quality reliable mark, GS is widely recognized by consumers in Germany and the European Union. The quality and safety of products bearing the GS mark exceed the level required by law. The GS mark can gain higher recognition than the CE mark, because the GS certificate is issued by a qualified third-party testing agency.
