GS Mark - Your Product Safety Mark
Safe products are the basis for being competitive in the world wide market. It is useful to label your products with specific safety labels such as the GS Mark. The GS Mark is recognized throughout Germany and EU countries as symbol of safety. Any product bearing the GS Mark indicates that it was tested and complies with the minimum requirements of the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (a.k.a GPSG). 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 body - such as Intertek.
Advantages of the GS Mark include:Recognized by consumers throughout Germany and EU countries as a symbol of safety•Provides a marketing advantage by creating trust, confidence, and purchasing motivation•Minimizes manufacturers‘ risk of product liability •Provides manufacturers with the confidence that their products are safe and legal•Emphasizes your company‘s commitment to safety •Assures end users that your product has been independently tested by an authorized third •party for safety Exceeds required legal standards in many cases •More highly regarded than the CE Mark since it is verified by a third party testing and •certification body
