Certification mark service
19 February 2014
TÜV SÜD Product Service has launched a new certification mark service for machinery manufacturers in the UK. For the first time, manufacturers can apply for the TÜV SÜD Octagon Mark to prove that their machines fulfil safety and quality requirements.

Machines certified with the Octagon Mark are tested by TÜV SÜD’s independent laboratories, while manufacturing facilities are audited annually to ensure consistency in quality.
A mark of quality, the TÜV SÜD Octagon Mark has been applied to a variety of products and machinery across the world for many years. This is the first time that UK machinery manufacturers will be able to use the Octagon Mark to gain a competitive advantage through additional proof that their machines comply.
