IFA 2024

A century of technological progress has resulted in a huge market for electrical products that consumers can hardly keep track of. The VDE mark has been a reliable indicator of safety and quality for more than 100 years. Through our independent testing and constant market surveillance, we contribute to the protection of consumers when handling electrical products.

At our IFA booth, you will have the opportunity to talk to our experts about consumer protection as well as our testings and certifications. Find out more about the VDE mark and get valuable tips on how to handle electrical products. We will discuss questions such as

• How do I identify safe electrical products?
• What do I need to consider when buying, especially from online platforms that import cheap products into the EU?
• What is the significance of test marks?
• How do I handle electrical products correctly?
• How can I save energy through my own usage behavior?

VDE, ZVEH and ZVEI have been exhibiting at IFA for many years as part of the associations' alliance with a booth and the “House of Smart Living”.

On 100 square meters, the interactive e-house shows what is already technically feasible today to increase energy efficiency, safety and living comfort in buildings.

This year, at the joint booth of VDE, ZVEH and ZVEI, you will also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a virtual world of a newly renovated house using VR glasses. It shows how climate protection can be realized in a very practical way through intelligent building technology. You can also take part in an eco-score challenge with various game levels. Tasks include “Charge your e-vehicle as efficiently as possible with green energy” or “Heat the house and reduce CO2 emissions in the process.”
