Annex 1 - Design of Test Marks
The proportions of the sample images must be maintained when reducing or enlarging the test marks. The text must be perfectly legible.
To represent the test mark, both dark lettering on a light background and light lettering on a dark background may be used.
Other graphic presentations and lettering may not be linked to the test mark if this affects the character or the statement of the mark.
The sign DGUV Test and the abbreviation of the DGUV Test Testing and Certification Body and, as a rule, the certificate number, are to be combined with the GS Mark. The DGUV Test Mark shall be marked with the abbreviation of the DGUV Test Testing and Certification Body and with the certificate number. Deviations in relation to the certificate number require the prior consent of the DGUV Test Testing and Certification body.
The DGUV Test Mark may if necessary be provided with a supplement according to the information indicated on the certificate. For certificates with supplements, the appearance will differ from the sample.
