DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation
I2PS GmbH is recognized by a large number of certification bodies, with this recognition being based on the company's national accreditation in conformity with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. This accreditation is granted by the German National Accreditation Body (DAkkS) on behalf of the German Federal Government.
The appendix to the DAkkS certificate lists all the standards for which the I2PS GmbH Test Laboratory Bonn is accredited and is available for download through our Downloads Center.
As part of I2PS' re-accreditation in May 2013, we were granted greater flexibility so that we would be able to use versions of standards deviating from those stipulated in the accreditation scope. This means that we are allowed to use newer versions of standards than those specified in the scope without this requiring a new assessment. The associated list is available for download through our Downloads Center.
Certifications
At the Institute for International Product Safety GmbH, we can help our customers gain worldwide access to markets, which requires an extremely broad range of product certifications.
This recognition is based on the accreditation granted by DAkkS in conformity with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.

This certification system (CB Scheme, where CB stands for "certification body") is recognized in 48 countries. It is based on the reciprocal acceptance of test reports and certificates from the corresponding national certification bodies (NCBs). Certification bodies that work together with laboratories are part of the scheme (CB Scheme Scope).
Within the context of the CB Scheme, I2PS works together with UL International DEMKO A/S. UL-DEMKO is UL's certification body for IEC standards (UL-DEMKO CB Scope).
The CB system is based on IEC standards. However, not all countries have incorporated the latter into their body of standards the same way. Accordingly, the IECEE website lists country-specific deviations.
Within the context of the CB Scheme, standards are subdivided into various product categories. I2PS works in the POW (Low voltage, high power switching equipment), INDA (Industrial Automation), and PROT (Installation protective equipment) categories.
The rules that make up the CB Scheme are published in a variety of documents, some of which are publicly accessible through the IECEE website. Other documents are intended exclusively for internal use by testing laboratories and certification bodies, and it is strictly prohibited to disclose them to third parties (Nat. Differences, TRFs).
The documents published by the CTL (Committee of Testing Laboratories) are important for the procedures followed when conducting tests. The following CTL documents need to be observed during testing:
• CTL Decisions (DSH)
interpretation of debatable sections of standards
• Rules, Operational Procedures & Guides
Specifications for general procedures for tests (e.g., OD-5012 governing the placement and attachment of thermocouples) and reports (OD-2020 TRF Guide)
• Test Report Forms (TRF)
Test report templates
