Ordering GS marks and DGUV Test marks

If you have a valid

• GS test certificate from DGUV Test or a
• BG test certificate or a “marking permission” document for the DGUV Test mark,

you can apply the appropriate certification mark to your products. By doing so, you show your customers that an independent body has tested the safety and health aspects of your product.

How do I order certification marks?

• Stickers are ordered through the DGUV Test secretariat, which checks and approves the order
  Order-form fax number: +49 351 457 2215
  dguv-test@dguv.de
• Digital versions of marks (in the form of a graphic file) can be ordered from the DGUV Test secretariat. (They will be dispatched by e-mail or on CD by post):
  - Production cost for one mark = 25 euros (plus VAT where appropriate)
  - Production cost for several marks as part of one order: first mark = 25 euros, each additional mark = 7.50 euros (plus VAT for each mark where appropriate)

What do I have to do?

• When ordering, please always be sure to specify the test certificate number and which of our testing and certification bodies issued the certificate. As well as enabling us to check validity, the certificate number is included on almost all of our marks as a means of identification and protecting both you and ourselves against misuse.
• If you do not want any stickers and order a digital mark from us instead, the material on which the GS/DGUV Test mark is printed and the manner in which it is affixed to the product must be such that the mark remains permanently legible and cannot be removed without being destroyed.
• Orders are only possible for products with a valid DGUV Test certificate.
• The marks are sold by Walker Etiketten GmbH. The DGUV Test secretariat checks whether a valid certificate exists before the mark is issued.
• Please use the order form (see left-hand margin).

Notes on use

• The GS or DGUV Test mark may be affixed to products corresponding to the tested type only for as long as the underlying certificate is valid. Products produced after the certificate has become invalid may not have the GS or DGUV Test mark applied to them.
• As far as possible, the GS/DGUV Test mark must be affixed next to the manufacturer’s trademark or type label.
• For more information on product marking, see Section 12 of the “Rules of Procedure for Testing and Certification by the DGUV Test Testing and Certification Bodies”.
