Approvals for Northern Europe

TÜV Rheinland’s Nordic Certification Service

One of the challenges facing international companies that do business in several countries is the need to obtain multiple certifications of compliance. TÜV Rheinland simplifies the process by giving you the chance to have your electrical products certified in all Nordic countries in one easy step.

Through the Nordic Approval Scheme, the Nordic test houses SEMKO (Sweden), NEMKO (Norway), FIMKO (Finland), and DEMKO (Denmark) have established mutually agreed-upon test results. Through an agreement with FIMKO – Finland’s leading testing, certification, and calibration company – TÜV Rheinland can provide certification with the Finnish FI mark, which then certifies your products in the other countries’ test marks. The FI mark shows that an electrical product has been tested for safety and has earned the support of consumers and retailers.

Nordic Certification

Finland, Sweden, and Denmark are European Union (EU) members. Generally, the local markets are readily accessible by any product bearing the CE mark, which shows conformance. Although Norway is not an EU member, its market is also open for products bearing the CE mark. Offered as a voluntary test mark, it has gained worldwide recognition as a sign of compliance with relevant safety and EMC standards, especially in IT and office equipment. Our experts run detailed tests and inspections and provide you with a completed CIG-023 factory inspection report, which is accepted by FIMKO for the FI mark.

The following is the rated voltage for Nordic countries:
