SGS Celebrates Century-Long Legacy of CEBEC Certification with Launch of State-of-the-Art Testing Laboratory in Anderlecht
A hundred years ago, the CEBEC mark was born out of a noble societal mission to ensure the Belgian market was only accessible to safe electrical products. Since then, it has become synonymous with unwavering reliability, safety, and compliance with Belgian, European, and international standards.
Managed by SGS, the CEBEC mark is backed by both the SGS CEBEC Certification Body and our extensively accredited and recognized laboratory. As globally acknowledged entities, they provide a diverse range of tests and certificates, empowering manufacturers to effectively introduce their electrical products to markets across various countries and regions. In 2022 alone, the CEBEC division successfully executed approximately 5000 international certifications.
Our newly inaugurated testing laboratory in Brussels, spanning an impressive area of approximately 1000 m², signifies a substantial expansion from the previous facility. The design and operation of the new lab place a strong emphasis on sustainability, featuring improved energy efficiency, insulation, and the implementation of heat pumps, and has a dedicated team of 25 colleagues.
Johan Pype, Managing Director of SGS Belgium and SGS Netherlands, expressed his pride on this occasion: "Today, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the CEBEC mark with our customers and international stakeholders, we reaffirm our commitment to investing in a sustainable and safe future. The launch of our new testing laboratory not only strengthens our position as a key player in electrical product safety, quality, and certification but also underscores our dedication to fulfilling our global mission: 'Enabling a better, safer and more interconnected world.'"
