Besides certification with one of the VDE marks, VDE test reports are also recognized for obtaining the national test marks of other countries, in Europe and worldwide.

The products marked with the ENEC and HAR signs of the VDE Institute can be marketed throughout Europe without the need to obtain certifications from other European authorities.

The certification basis is as follows:

  • Directive for the Test and Certification System – PM 101
  • Test and Certification Regulations – PM 102
  • Certification marks, certificates, confirmations – PM 045
  • Certified products are subject to factory inspections and production monitoring
