The European Certification Body – Competence in certification matters
The European Certification Body (ECB) is a neutral certification body accredited to ISO/IEC 17065. It issues ECB•S certificates for products of the security industry
Pursuant to its guiding principle “Quality provides Security”,
the European Certification Body with its ECB•S certification mark
guarantees maximum security properties to European standards. At
present, there are approximately 1000 valid ECB•S certificates in the
global security market. For the user, it offers maximum security in
investment decisions. For the insurance industry, it is a reliable and
objective basis for risk calculation and the resulting insurance
grading.
In 1992, the European Certification Body (at that time,
still named: Forschungs- und Prüfgemeinschaft Geldschränke und
Tresoranlagen e.V. - FuP, later European Security Systems Association
e.V.) was accredited as certification body according to EN 45011 (today
ISO/IEC 17065). The responsible accreditation body now is DAkkS Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH.
FuP was founded as a certification body for security products in 1967
already. As a consequence, the European Certification Body has more than
40 years of experience in the testing and certification of security
technology.
