The WAGO laboratory in Minden is an “accredited test lab for electrical and mechanical tests on terminal blocks and connectors, as
well as for environment simulations.”

Accreditation, as ISO/IEC 17011:2004 defines, is a third party-attestation related to a conformity assessment body conveying formal
demonstration of its competence to carry out specific conformity assessment tasks.

Accreditation, according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, is granted by the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH DAkkS (German Ac-
creditation Office GmbH DAkkS). This national accreditation office, which was established by the German Federal Ministry for Econom-
ics and Technology (BMWi), certifies that our test laboratory is officially recognized as possessing the necessary expertise to conduct
defined tests and types of tests independently and objectively.
