First Consultation - The applicant provides the company with a brief introduction to the company and a description of the current status of the proposed certified product, such as product model, name, parts list, drawings, working principle diagrams, technical parameter tables, usage instructions, and other materials.

2. Establish agency relationship - The principal (applicant) signs an agency agreement with the agent, further clarifying the responsibilities, powers, and obligations of both parties in written contract form to ensure close cooperation during the application process, enabling the application work to proceed smoothly and achieve the expected goals. At the same time, the power of attorney is a legal basis that our company must submit to VDE to prove that we have been entrusted by the applicant.

3.The formal application form and structural parameter table are important documents for applying for VDE. The applicant can provide relevant information and entrust our company to translate and fill them out. After the applicant signs, they will be sent back to VDE.

4 .Application Confirmation - After receiving the formal application form and structural parameter table, VDE will confirm the application in writing within 2-4 weeks and send invoices, factory inspection questionnaires, and other materials.

5. Sample submission - When the VDE application is confirmed, the specific sample submission requirements and the relevant standards on which the testing is based will be informed. Our company can assist applicants in obtaining relevant standards, clarifying all relevant testing items, testing methods, etc. After the sample is completed, it must be self tested according to standard requirements or submitted to relevant domestic laboratories for prediction. After the prediction is qualified, the samples can be safely and accurately sent to VDE for testing through express delivery.

1) Once all test items are passed, the applicant will be notified promptly.

2) The inspection results may also have defects. Some minor defects can be corrected with VDE without the need for resubmission, and VDE can issue the certificate.

3) When significant defects are detected in the test results, our company will discuss the reasons for the failure with the applicant. If necessary, please ask VDE to send back the failed samples for reference and analysis. After the sample is modified and improved, our company will handle the re inspection procedures and send the sample again until it is qualified. If the samples are resent within six months, the cost of retesting will be much discounted.

6 Factory Inspection - Factory review before issuing certificates and regular or irregular supervision and review after obtaining certificates. Before the factory inspection, Normal Nuomo Technology assists the manufacturing plant in conducting a self inspection of production facilities, experimental equipment, metrology, and the entire quality system in accordance with VDE requirements. If the inspector requests rectification during the review, assist the manufacturer in discussing and implementing rectification measures as soon as possible until the re inspection is qualified.

7 Certification - On the premise of successful factory inspection, if the sample test is qualified, VDE will promptly notify Normal Nuomo Technology of the results, and the VDE certificate will be issued soon.
