Bauart Mark
TÜV SÜD Bauart Mark demonstrates that your electrical components are safe and reliable.What is the TÜV SÜD Bauart Mark?
The TÜV SÜD Bauart Mark is a widely used symbol that demonstrates that electrical and other components have been certified as safe for use by a trusted independent third party. While it is commonly applied to electrical components, its use is not limited to them. The TÜV SÜD Bauart Mark is internationally recognised by manufacturers and certification bodies around the globe.
Bauart Mark certification demonstrates that a representative sample has been evaluated, tested, and type approved for safety, and that the production line is inspected on an annual basis. It is a voluntary standard that adds value to your electrical components as it helps manufacturers further down the supply chain feel confident that they are safe and reliable and will reduce testing time for entry to many markets.
Why TÜV SÜD Bauart Mark certification is important
The safety of an electrical appliance is greatly dependent on the safety of its components, and each of these must be certified as safe and secure. If a manufacturer is not confident that a component is type approved and reliable, they will often refuse to use it because it may require extra testing further down the line. Therefore, component producers need to demonstrate that their goods are safe and reliable.
This is where the TÜV SÜD Bauart Mark comes in. It demonstrates that a trusted independent third-party has certified the component as safe and reliable. This provides manufacturers and regulators the confidence to approve and use the component.
