2 Agenda Who are we? What are we doing? IEC Focus Useful information To remember Presentation : 40 minutes Questions and Answers : 20 minutes 2

3 Who are we? 25 years of History International Certification Industrial Low Voltage Equipment 3

4 Who are we? 25 years of History 25th Anniversary of Signature of Low Voltage Agreement On 28 th March 1991 At CENELEC in Brussels International Certification Industrial Low Voltage Equipment 4

5 The Power of European Knowledge in ONE SIGN WORLDWIDE Who are we? LOVAG is a Co-operation between 7 Certification Bodies (CB) in Europe The basic aim of LOVAG is the harmonization of the testing and certification of industrial low voltage equipment The LOVAG runs a testing and certification scheme following IEC and EN standards The LOVAG assesses the compliance of low voltage industrial products to special environments The Low Voltage Agreement Group stands for high competence in testing and certification of low voltage industrial equipment 5

6 A strong network of experts LOVAG Organization Who are we? Experts from 7 Certification Bodies Experts from Manufacturers, Certification Bodies and Laboratories Active members of Standard writing Organizations (IEC, CENELEC, National committees) 6

7 A strong certification scheme Who are we? CERTIFICATES One type test, One set of samples, One time Delivered by Third Party Type Tests Certificates Type 5 Mark License MARK LICENSE One type test One set of samples Regular Follow up tests Regular audits of factory Delivered by Third Party 7

8 Accredited Certification Bodies Who are we? CBs accredited by members of ISO/IEC EN ISO/IEC (EN45011) 8

9 46 Registered Laboratories Who are we? 6 2 Laboratories accredited by members of ISO/IEC EN ISO/IEC (formerly ISO guide 25 and EN45001)

10 46 Registered Laboratories Who are we? 6 2 Two new LOVAG registered Laboratories in China Under supervision of SGS CEBEC Shanghai Testing & Inspection Institute for Electrical Equipment, Shanghai Laboratories accredited by members of 10 3 Goangdong Testing Institute of Product Quality Supervision; ShiLong Town, Guangdonc Province ISO/IEC EN ISO/IEC (formerly ISO guide 25 and EN45001)

11 Worldwide System of Accreditation Who are we? 20 LOVAG Reg.Labs 6 6 LOVAG Reg.Labs 10 LOVAG Reg-Labs LOVAG Peers Assessment 9

12 Our typical scope of products Who are we?

13 Special Environment Who are we? Non-consumer area End-user are experts (e.g. power supply industry like EDF in France, ENEL in Italy, etc ) Business to Business certification High currents and voltages up to 1000 V Special test equipments and know how required Often only available at manufacturer laboratories and few independent laboratories 13

14 Your benefits Who are we? MANUFACTURER AUTHORITY CUSTOMER Certification by a LOVAG Certification Body helps me to carry the product liability. I want to show, that my products are able to get the highest Award LOVAG Certification schemes are under control of International Accreditation System. LOVAG provides credible, globally accepted third party certificates and the unique quality mark for Low Voltage Industrial Equipments A product or equipment with a LOVAG Certificate is controlled by competent and independent Certification Body I m confident in products bearing the LOVAG mark MEE
