Four Nordic safety certification marks:
Uses: industrial equipment, mechanical equipment, communication equipment, electrical products, personal protective equipment, etc., household products.
The four Nordic countries are Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. Agreements have been established between the certification bodies of the four countries to mutually recognize each other's test results. In other words, as long as your product is certified by any of the four Nordic countries, if you need the certification of the remaining three countries, you don't need to provide the product for testing, and you can easily obtain the certificate.
The four Nordic certifications refer to NEMKO (Norwegian Electrical Standards Association), SEMKO (Swedish Electrical Standards Association), DEMKO (Danish Electrical Standards Association), and FIMKO (Finnish Electrical Standards Association) certifications. Among them, the NEKO logo indicates that the product has passed a series of safety tests certified by Norway to ensure that the product can withstand physical loss, combustion and electrical shock. The NDMKO mark is valid for 10 years after the evaluation. After the expiration date, it must be tested again. The SEMKO mark indicates that the product conforms to European standards.
FIMKO: Elelctrical lnspectorate (SETI) recognizes the CB certificate and its attachments, and includes a test report that includes differences between Finnish countries, factory inspections required before certification (generally no factory inspections afterwards are required), and sampling supervision of products Upon review, the FI-Mark mark contains the contents of the IEC or CEE safety standards and the requirements of CTSPR publications. The FI-Mark mark is mandatory for the electrical products included in the CB system.
NEMKO: Norwegian Electrical Equipment Inspection Approval Committee, recognized CB certificate and its attachments, and the test report including the differences between Norwegian countries, no factory inspection is required, a mandatory registration system is adopted in the Norwegian market, and market sampling supervision is implemented, unless for some reason Cancelled, the certificate is valid for 10 years, the NEMKO mark is an accreditation mark, the voluntary testing system is replacing mandatory testing, and the N-Mark mark also includes content beyond the IEC or CEE safety standards: radio interference.
SEMKO: Founded in 1925 in Sweden, it was originally a compulsory safety certification unit approved by the Swedish government. It can be said that it is the Swedish Inspection Agency. SEMKO is one of the earliest organizations engaged in safety testing in the world. It is listed as a nationally recognized laboratory by the Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment (SWEDAC) and is a designated institution under many EU directives ( Notified Body) is also the testing organization with the largest number of test and certification reports issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) CB plan. SEMKO was acquired by Intertek Group in 1994 and merged with ETL to form the ETL SEMKO Division.
DEMKO: The Danish Electrical Equipment Approval Authority (DEMKO) recognizes the CB certificate and its accessories, and the test report including the national differences of Denmark, does not require a factory inspection before the certificate is issued, and the product is subject to sampling supervision and review, unless it is cancelled in advance, the certificate 10 Valid during the year, registration with DEMKO within 8 days of placing the product on the market is mandatory. It has been acquired by UL as a certification mark to open up the European certification market.
