So GS mark is a strong market instruments, to enhance customer confidence and desire to buy. While the GS is the German standard, but most countries in Europe agree. And at the same time meet the GS certification, the products will meet the requirements of the EC CE mark. And not the same as CE, GS mark is not legally required, but because of security awareness has penetrated the general consumer, an electrical GS mark may be more common in the market more competitive products.

V, GS certification cycle.
In general, the length of time depends on whether the product needs to be amended or product manufacturer to submit the required documentation speed. Overall, the time normally required for approximately 6 to 8 weeks.

CE: Compulsory Certification Compulsory.
GS: German safety regulations for detection of GS.
CE: for European standards (EN) were detected.
GS: The German government authorized by the independent third party testing and issue a certificate of GS mark.
CE: the availability of a complete technical documentation (including test report) under the premise of self-declared CE.
GS: must pay an annual fee.
CE: No pay an annual fee.
GS: must undergo an annual inspection of the factory.
CE: no factory inspection.
GS:; issued by an authorized testing unit GS mark, credibility and market acceptance is high.
CE: the factory of the self-declaration of product compliance, credibility and market acceptance is low.
VII, GS certification and the relationship between LVD.
European CE requirements, 1997.1.1. From control "Low Voltage Directive (LVD)". GS now contains the "Low Voltage Directive (LVD)" all the requirements. Therefore, access to GS sign, the product will be issued free of charge LVD exception of the CE certificate (COC), 97 years after the certificate is included in the GS certificate LVD certificate. Application firms won the GS at the same time LVD proof.
