VDE is directly involved in Germany national standards, is Europe's most experienced enjoy a high reputation in the world of one of the certification bodies. Each year for nearly 2,200 Germany and 2,700 customers in other countries completed a total of 18,000 certification programs. Beggar so far, 200,000 in nearly 50 countries worldwide have received VDE mark for electrical products.
Certification process
1 to submit a formal application form and structural parameters of table---are VDE important documents
2 an application confirmation after receiving the formal application form and structure parameter of---VDE and send information such as invoices, factory inspection questionnaire.
3 free sample---VDE application will be confirmed at the same time, send will inform specific sampling requirements and the test is based on the relevant criteria. Sampling must be carried out according to standard requirements after self-test or sent home about lab forecast. To be sent by Speedpost samples safe, accurate testing to VDE at.
1) once all through the test project, the applicant will be notified for the first time.
2) test result may also have defects. Some light defects, certification bodies to communicate with VDE, with just a bit of correction, no need to send samples, VDE certification.
3) when the test results if there's a major drawback, the accreditation body will discuss with the applicant the reasons for failure. VDE test fails, please send it, if necessary, for reference analysis. When the sample is revised and improved for the review procedures after, such as send samples back in six months, then retest fee will offer a lot.
4Check factory--- after factory inspection and certification of the distribution of documents or occasional supervisory review. Before the examination, the accreditation body appointed experts to assist factories for production facilities, laboratory equipment, measuring and control VDE quality system as a whole requires self-examination. Assist manufacturers discuss corrective actions as soon as possible and quickly implemented until the recheck qualify.
5 certification---on the premise of factory inspection passed, if the samples pass the test, the VDE, without delay, inform the applicant, VDE certificate would soon be issued.
Submission of information
1. product description
2. model difference
3. circuit diagram
4. German instruction
5. list of spare parts and materials
6. the CB testing reports
7. other required material
Factory audit
(1) certified ex factory review
Certified factory inspection to prove certification before products reach production consistent with the expected results. For the initial application, if the manufacturer's production facilities not previously reviewed, the manufacturer must be certified before factory inspection. Certification body questionnaire distributed to applicants (table CIG 022, part b), the manufacturer shall complete the questionnaire. Questionnaire included questions against the applicant, such as an address, contacts, number of employees, types of products, materials, components, products and other components, which is part of enterprise quality system related information, what are the controls for factory testing, and so on. VDE factory inspection department upon receipt of the questionnaire, will be assessed, and contact the manufacturer to arrange the prior card factory inspection schedule. If other CCA body factory inspection have been made to related products, and manufacturers will review reports submitted to relevant VDE approval, VDE is likely to accept the review.
(2) certified factories reviewed
VDE in principle twice yearly factory inspection. Factory inspection is mainly review the consistency of products and samples, but also need to review inspection procedures, records, measuring quality files.
Access
In General, the VDE certification for type approval of experiments carried out in two ways: the first way is to directly consult the VDE and completed the application procedures and in accordance with the requirements of the VDE test engineer sent amount of test material to Germany, as Germany VDE standards itemized detection, and in accordance with VDE testing effort for the total time spent by Germany engineers ' work price pays all testing costs. Second way is the company into the country has a good relationship with VDE CB lab made "CB test" application, and then by type of CB test reports to VDE certification test report. We know, CB test certificate is international electrician Committee electrician products security certification organization (IECEE) of certification institutions Committee (CCB) unified developed of, by a country within was IECEE-CCN recognized of certification institutions issued of a certificate (in China, CCEE is CB test certificate of awarded card units), and by attached of test report with used to notice other country of certification institutions, a kind of electrician products of samples has according to unified of IEC standard for and through has test. From more than 30 countries in the world have joined the CB system, laboratory of VDE CB members, so basically we issue CB test reports can be received directly, so the main project's tests can be completed at home. Only if there are some experimental projects such as Germany DIN standards and IEC standards when differences exist between countries, VDE engineer informs the agents send individual samples added differences in experimental projects, test results can be integrated after confirmation.
