1. What is GS?
The meaning of GS is German "Geprufte Sicherheit" (safety certified) and "Germany Safety". GS certification is a voluntary certification based on the German Product Safety Law (GPGS) and 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.
2, the role of certification
The GS mark indicates that the safety of the product has been tested by an independent agency with credibility. The GS mark, although not legally mandated, does allow manufacturers to be subject to strict German (European) product safety laws in the event of a product failure that causes an accident. So the GS logo is a powerful market tool that enhances customer confidence and desire to buy. Although GS is a German standard, most countries in Europe agree. And while meeting the GS certification, the product will also meet the requirements of the European Community's CE mark. Unlike CE, there is no legal requirement for the GS mark, but since the safety awareness has penetrated the average consumer, an electric appliance with the GS mark may be more competitive in the market than the general product.
