While it may be tempting to purchase electrical goods with bargain hunters who are able to offer goods at best prices, never overlook the safety mark label. This safety mark, albeit small, is significant in helping consumers determine which products are safe for usage. Goods which are sold and meant for overseas usage with the rated voltage suitable for their countries may not compatible for use in Singapore. It may result in overheating and pose fire hazard.
"SAFETY MARK affixed products are type-tested and placed on rigorous test against specified safety benchmarks set by SPRING before they are certified as safe for daily usage and can be sold in Singapore."
Why choose products with safety mark?
Those products affixed with safety mark are registered by SPRING. They are type-tested and put on rigorous test against specified safety benchmarks set by SPRING before they are certified as safe for daily usage and can be sold in Singapore. This label can be usually found on the body of the product or on the packaging.
Risks of products without safety mark
Without the assurance of the safety mark, your home may face undesirable scenarios such as overheating which causes devices to burn up and pose shock and fire hazard. For instance, an appliance which is meant for usage in the United States with a rated voltage of 120V is not suitable for use in Singapore as it may overheat when plugged into our main socket which supply 230V.
Don't miss out on this safety mark! It provides consumers with greater protection against unsafe consumer goods.
