Increase in SGS GS certifications through economical downturn
In spite of global economic circumstances, there was a major
growth in number of GS (Geprüfte Sicherheit) certificates
authorized by SGS.
(firmenpresse) - After starting back in 2005 with one GS certification
awarded, the SGS Fimko (http://www.fi.sgs.com/fimko)
division and its GS certifiers located in Europe and Asia
registered, over three years, a remarkable increase in the
number of companies applying for the GS certificate. This
culminated at the end of 2009 with over 1,000 certificates
granted in a single year.
Out of these, almost 90% were awarded to companies from
the household appliance industry, the rest being granted
mostly to manufacturers and components suppliers in the
luminaries, office equipment and consumer electronics
industries. The reason behind the rise in GS certifications
lies in the package, service quality and accelerated
certification process. After one test customers get a
certification package that includes both the GS and CB
certifications (http://www.ee.sgs.com/ee_index/iecee.htm).
Supported by SGS’s brand name and its global network of
testing labs, with the GS and CB certificates, the process of
getting other local or regional certification marks has never
been easier than before.
The demand for SGS GS certifications is expected to grow
in 2010 with around 20% worldwide.

Economic Area

standard and the special requirements of the GS
