class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Certificate names are easy to list, but procurement decisions need more than names.\n      Buyers should understand what each document can prove, and what it cannot prove.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>CE for SPD Procurement<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      CE marking is commonly required for products placed on the European Economic Area market when the product falls under applicable EU rules.\n      For SPD buyers, CE is part of the compliance file, but it should not be treated as a full replacement for product-level test evidence.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Buyers should ask for the Declaration of Conformity and check whether it identifies the surge protective device, the manufacturer, the applicable standard or directive, and the responsible party.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>TUV \/ T\u00dcV for SPD Procurement<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      TUV certification is valuable because it can show that a third party has reviewed or tested the product under defined requirements.\n      But not every document with a TUV logo means the same thing.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Buyers should check the certificate number, the exact model list, the voltage rating, the SPD type and the standard written on the certificate.\n      For example, a certificate for one AC SPD family should not be assumed to cover a different DC\/PV SPD series.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>CB for SPD Procurement<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      CB documents are especially useful for importers, distributors and OEM buyers who sell to multiple markets.\n      A CB certificate is normally supported by a CB test report, so buyers can check both the certificate and the technical testing scope.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      The most important point is the scope.\n      The model list, voltage range, testing standard, applicant, manufacturer and factory information should be consistent with the product you plan to buy.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>RoHS for SPD Procurement<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      RoHS is not a surge performance certificate.\n      It is related to hazardous substance restrictions for electrical and electronic equipment.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      RoHS can be important for distributors, European projects, OEM supply chains and customers who need environmental compliance files.\n      But it cannot replace SPD testing under the correct surge protection standard.\n

<p>\n      Many certificate problems happen because the supplier really has a document, but the document does not match the buyer\u2019s required product.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      For example, a buyer may need a 1500V DC\/PV SPD, but the supplier sends a certificate for a 600V product.\n      Or the certificate may cover Type 2 SPDs, while the project asks for Type 1+2.\n      In both cases, the certificate exists, but it may not support that order.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <figure class=\"ly-cert-figure\">\n      <img

project approval.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>Mistake 1: Treating a CE logo as complete proof<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      A CE mark or CE logo on a brochure is not enough for serious SPD procurement.\n      Buyers should ask for the Declaration of Conformity and supporting technical documents.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>Mistake 2: Using an AC SPD certificate for a DC\/PV SPD order<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      AC and DC\/PV surge protective devices may have different test requirements and product structures.\n      A certificate for an AC SPD should not be used as proof for a PV SPD unless the document clearly covers that product.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      For high-voltage PV applications, buyers can also review our\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnspd.com\/dc-spd-up-to-1500v\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DC SPD up to 1500V selection page<\/a>\n      to understand how voltage and application affect product selection.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>Mistake 3: Ignoring voltage coverage<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      Voltage mismatch is a common risk.\n      A certificate for 600V does not automatically cover 1000V or 1500V products.\n      The required voltage should appear in the certificate, model list, scope sheet or test report.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>Mistake 4: Assuming one family certificate covers every customized model<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      OEM labels, customized shells, different pole configurations or different voltage ratings may affect the certificate file.\n      If the order is for private label products, ask the supplier how the brand and model information will be handled.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>Mistake 5: Checking the certificate but not the product label<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      The product label is part of the compliance story.\n      If the certificate, datasheet and product label show different ratings or model names, the buyer should ask the supplier to clarify before shipment.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"ly-cert-section\" id=\"documents\">\n
