Bauart Mark / Type Approved Mark

Type Test Mark | TÜV Rheinland

Document the safety of your products with our Bauart approval service

„Bauart Geprüft“ mark by TÜV Rheinland
Our Type Approved mark for your components

In a confusing market, test marks provide a reliable guide for customers and distributers. Our internationally recognized Bauart mark (or Type Approved mark) demonstrates the tested and certified safety and quality of the marked components and products – comparable to the GS mark for products.

We test, inspect and certify your components and finished products according to the applicable standards relevant to your products. As a rule, the components (such as plugs, power supplies and switches) cannot be used on their own, but are intended for integration into finished products. Once we have completed our tests we provide you with a certificate and the right to use our test mark, which you can now use effectively in your marketing.

As a reliable partner with extensive experience, we inform you about the test regulations relevant to your products and help you prove the safety and quality of your products.

Our experts examine your components and finished products according to the applicable standards in order to determine their electrical safety, mechanical construction and operating conditions.

The testing involves the following steps:

  • Creation of the test report
  • Production monitoring (initial inspection and follow-up testing)
  • Issuing of the certificate
  • Awarding of the right to use the “Bauart Geprüft” mark if testing and initial factory inspection was successful as per the applicable standard
