German TUV certification

Certification project: TUV certification

Introduction to TUV certification

TUV is a certification company in Germany, mainly consisting of three companies: South Germany, North Germany, and Rheinland. Depending on different industries and product types, the cost varies. TUV testing is similar to China's Technical Quality Supervision Bureau. In the early stages of its establishment, each state had independent TUV institutions, but the difference was that TUV in each state was an independent third-party organization rather than a government agency, but it undertook many tasks authorized by the country. After the merger, it generally refers to TUV South Germany or TUV Rhine. The authority of TUV certification institutions is very high in the field of electronic appliances and components, and is highly recognized by customers in various countries, especially Europe and America. Therefore, they have gained high recognition. If China's electronic appliances and components products want to sell smoothly to Europe, TUV certification is a good choice. Tengda Testing is a TUV witnessing laboratory that can carry out CE, mark, CB, GS and other certifications for TUV. TQM certification, UL yellow card certification, certification testing

Purpose of TUV certification

The purpose of applying safety standards is to prevent personal injury and property damage caused by various hazards that may arise during the use of household appliances, mechanical products, and automotive products.

Including electric shock or shock, high temperature or fire, mechanical hazards, radioactive hazards, chemical hazards.

TUV certification scope

1. Consulting services for certification of wireless and communication products

2. Product testing: Short range wireless devices, wireless local area networks, GSM, CDMA, DECT, Bluetooth, PMR, small devices, PLG, modems, ISDN, ADSL, xDSL, communication network devices, etc

3. Conduct radio communication equipment testing according to ETSI standards, FCC standards in the United States, as well as standards from other countries such as Australia, Singapore, and Japan. 

4. Information notice on spectrum allowed in Europe

5. Electromagnetic compatibility testing

6. Electrical safety and health protection testing (SAR assessment)

7. Test the compatibility and quality of analog and digital terminal equipment

8. Conduct on-site or public training and discussions on wireless and communication equipment

9. Restricted substance testing

10. Light Industry Product Testing

11. Reliability testing

12. Guide the testing and certification of automotive products, for example, in 2012, guide China Armor to complete the construction of a product testing center for vehicle external structural systems and complete the certification of some products.

TUV certification standards

The household appliance regulations around the world are based on the IEC standard IEC60335.

Among them, European standards are closer to international standards.

The European standard is divided into two main parts: one part is EN60335-1, which is a comprehensive requirement for household appliances; The second part of EN60335-2 is a special requirement for various types of household appliances, which has dozens of standards.

TUV certification process

1. TUV certification bodies will regularly calibrate testing and measuring equipment

2. Using appropriate statistical techniques in TUV standards

3. TUV product identification and traceability system

4. A system for preserving records

5. The handling, storage, packaging, protection, and transportation system of TUV quality inspection products need to be carried out

6. The system for inspection and testing, as well as the system for handling non-conforming products

7. Adequate training for personnel engaged in product production

Materials required for factories to apply for TUV certification

① Information related to applicants, factories, and registrants;

② Specify the type of certification;

③ Product related information;

④ TUV approved parts list;

⑤ Instruction manual;

⑥ Engineering drawings;

⑦ Dimensional drawings;

⑧ Roadmap.

Advantages of TUV certification

1. Always effective;

2. Capable of displaying unique features of the product;

3. It can be declared by combining one or more product features;

4. With the TUV logo, not only does it ensure the safety and quality factors of the product, but it also provides other certification information, such as ergonomics. This increases the credibility of your product and also makes it easier for buyers and consumers to make purchasing decisions.

How to choose a third-party TUV certification agency?

① Timeliness: What is the cycle time for third-party TUV certification to be completed? This is a key point that enterprises must consider when applying for TUV certification. Some TUV certification agencies only need three weeks to obtain the certificate, while others are far away.

② Cost effectiveness: After testing the product with third-party TUV certification, TUV engineers can directly conduct witness testing at certification agencies, eliminating the possibility of repeated retesting and rectification costs.

③ Service oriented: Third party TUV certification agencies must have professional engineers to provide one-on-one services, and the progress of product certification can be easily communicated and exchanged with engineers. Certification agencies need a dedicated rectification team with rich case experience.

TUV certification quotation

TUV certification is one of the most rigorous certifications worldwide, and the quotation for certification also requires detailed product manuals, product images, usage, circuit diagrams, and certification status of key component lists in order to calculate the specific testing and certification costs.
