Overall Standard
The worldwide recognized GS mark ensures that products meet the quality and safety requirements set forth in the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG, in short). Consumers know that the product and its operating instructions have passed a test by an independent and highly respected national test centre. This includes initial inspection of production sites and regular production inspections. For manufacturers, this means: Any company that has the internationally recognised certified safety symbol on its goods will win over potential buyers and gain decisive competitive advantages.
