Features of the ETL-EU Mark
Intertek's ETL-EU mark verifies that the product complies with applicable European Union (EU) standards and directives.
The most important feature of the ETL-EU mark is that it can only come from Intertek, an independent 3rd party testing laboratory, and cannot be self-declared by the manufacturer.
Product defects have been a growing concern in the global market, and the European Union officials have initiated a number of regulations to address these concerns. The list of new directives, revisions, and scope of covered products grows each year. But consumers, retailers and authorities are losing confidence in the “self-declaration” status of the CE Mark as more and more products bearing the mark are proven to be non-compliant.
