The ENEC (European Norms Electrical Certification) Mark is the high quality European Mark for lighting, light fittings and electrical equipment that demonstrates compliance with relevant European safety standards.

Unlike acquiring the CE Mark, which is a self-certification procedure, the ENEC Mark is voluntary, and can only be granted by approved independent testing laboratories, such as BSI.  

The benefits of obtaining the ENEC Mark for manufacturers are far reaching, from being able to bring products to market quicker, to offering greater assurance to your customers, and the wider market place, about the safety performance of an electrical or lighting product. 

What the ENEC Mark shows

ENEC is a full certification scheme (ISO Type 5). The ENEC Mark logo demonstrates that:

• The electrical product has undergone type testing and complies with appropriate European safety standards (ENs)
• The manufacturer applies a ISO 9001 compliant quality management system, including an annual factory inspection
• The manufacturer undertakes ongoing quality monitoring of its product and production processes
• The electrical product is re-tested every two years to ensure continued compliance

The ENEC Mark is a powerful tool in proving independent third-party testing and certification, and has been used to verify over 85,000 electrical products to date.
