 Luxembourg test mark for electrotechnical
products
CCA stands for Cenelec Certification Agreement. For you as a
manufacturer of electrical appliances subject to the European low voltage
directive (72/23/EWG) such as, for example, electrical home appliances,
luminaires, office and data processing machines, tools, transformers, switches,
electronic construction elements, that means that you can obtain several
national, European approvals quickly and inexpensively. Provided that your
factory is located in Luxembourg or one of the CENELEC member countries:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Great
Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Norway,Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or
Turkey. These are the countries, or certification bodies within the scope of the
CCA scheme, which mutually recognise test results. This is time saving for you
and avoids costly double-testing of one and the same product. In accordance with
CENELEC Memorandum No. 13, you can proceed as follows:
1. Using a form which you receive via us, you apply to the certification body
of Luxembourg (SEE) at the address given below for granting of the Luxembourg
test mark, including CCA test report and Notification of Test Result (NTR).
2. SEE provides you with the necessary contractual documentation, and informs
you where your sample must be presented.
3. Commissioned by the Luxembourg certification body, SEE, TÜV Rheinland
Product Safety GmbH carries out the necessary tests on your product in
accordance with the recognized standards within the CCA scheme, and passes on
the positive test report to SEE.
4. On having been presented with the contract, declaration, and initial
factory inspection report SEE issues approval to carry the Luxembourg test mark,
as well as the necessary CCA paper (NTR) and the CCA test report for further
applications.
5. Any further European test marks on the basis of the SEE NTR can be
obtained within 3 to 6 weeks.
