S Mark for EU

The S stands for safety
The S Mark is a symbol which shows that electrical and electronic products have been independently tested and certified by a third party, Intertek ETL SEMKO, and that they comply with applicable European safety requirements. As a part of the certification, a yearly inspection of the manufacturing site is included. The purpose of the inspection is to verify that the manufacturer has a well-functioning production control system, which ensures that the product always fulfils the requirements.

Customer-friendly mark
The S Mark is a customer- and consumer-friendly mark which can be used in all EU countries. It conveys safety to the 450 million people who live in the EU: to customers, retailers and consumers. The S stands for safety. Throughout Europe, it does not matter how you say "Safety"… Sicherheit (German), Seguridad (Spanish), Sécurité (French), Sicurezza (Italian), Segurança (Portuguese), Säkerhet (Swedish). In Europe, "Safety" begins with S.

Today there are approximately 40 000 different products that are S Marked. The S Mark is only issued by Intertek ETL SEMKO. You find the S Mark not only on consumer products like lighting, household appliances and home electronics, but also on, for example, industrial appliances, medical devices and components. You need only recognise one single mark to know that the product is safe.
