Test authorities and approval stamps in Europe and North America [t-head1-first]
Moeller devices have in their basic design all worldwide necessary approvals including those for the USA.
Some devices, such as circuit-breakers, are in their basic design usable worldwide with the exception of USA and Canada. For export to North America devices are available with a special UL and CSA approval.
In all cases special country specific installation and operating specifications, installation ,materials and types must be taken into account as well as special circumstances such as difficult climatic conditions.
Since January 1997 all devices that conform to the European low-voltage guidelines and are for sale in the European Union must be marked with the CE mark.
The CE mark shows that the marked device corresponds with all relevant requirements and standards. This marking duty allows unlimited use of this device within the European economic area.
Approval and marking for their own country is no longer necessary when a device is marked with the CE mark that corresponds to the harmonised standards. (→ table).
An exception is the instalation material. The device group of circuit-breakers and earth-fault protection switches are in certain areas still to be labelled and are therefore marked with the relevant label.
