The ENEC Mark (European Norms Electrical Certification) demonstrates that electrical products comply with European safety standards. It is becoming increasingly popular in the European Union as a complement to CE marking. The ENEC certification holds much more value than the mandatory CE marking because it requires third-party certification, rather than self-declaration like the CE marking.
The ENEC certification scheme allows manufacturers and importers to clearly demonstrate compliance with applicable product safety through testing by independent third-party electrical certification bodies such as TÜV SÜD.
The ENEC Mark gives buyers an increased level of confidence. It proves that independent experts have verified the safety of ENEC-certified electrical products in accordance with European safety standards. This means that the product complies with the applicable EN safety standard and performance testing requirement, and that the manufacturer has a verified production control in place, e.g. factory surveillance.
The manufacturer must apply a quality system according to ISO 9001 and have products re-tested every two years. Lighting products bearing the ENEC and ENEC Plus marks have also been evaluated for relevant performance criteria, which potentially eliminates the need for duplicate performance testing.
Products covered under ENEC certification include:
TÜV SÜD has been officially accepted by the European Testing Inspection Certification System (ETICS) to certify electrical products under the ENEC scheme, and to certify lighting products under the ENEC Plus scheme.
