Our Services for Approval for Western Europe

Electrical low-voltage appliances have to fulfill the requirements of the Ordinance for Electrical Low-Voltage Products (NEV). Electrical low-voltage equipment can be marked on a voluntary basis with the well-known Swiss S+ safety mark.

Finished products for all end users must conform to NEV requirements in the same way that components integrated to make up an end product have to. This includes meeting conformity criteria with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The safety mark corresponds to Certification Category 2 (type testing and market surveillance) and covers the following requirements:

  • Testing and inspection of electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Approval of Low-voltage electrical products (commercial and residential).
