The GS Mark is
recognized
throughout Germany
and EU countries as
symbol of safety.
German consumers are
willing to pay a
higher price for
products if there is
a strong
certification mark
on it. The GS Mark
minimizes
manufacturers' risk
of product liability
and provides
manufacturers with
the confidence that
their products are
safe, legal and of
high quality. The GS
mark also assures
end users that the
product has been
independently tested
by an authorized
third party
(RASOO) for
safety.
A GS mark issued by
RASOO will carry
its "GS Mark"
identifier above the
mark. Moreover,
RASOO can provide
concurrent testing
and certification
for GS Mark, S Mark,
CE Mark and CB
Certificates for the
European Market,
saving you
significant time and
money.
Any product bearing
the GS Mark
indicates that it
was tested and
complies with the
minimum requirements
of the German
Product Safety Act
(a.k.a. ProdSG). The
GS Mark, which
stands for “Geprüfte
Sicherheit” in
German and means
Safety Tested, is a
licensed mark of the
German government
and may only be
issued by an
accredited product
safety testing and
certification
agency.
Advantages of the GS
Mark include:
- Recognized
by consumers
throughout
Germany and EU
countries as a
symbol of safety
and quality
- Provides a
marketing
advantage by
creating
consumer trust,
confidence, and
purchasing
motivation
