The association of European certification bodies highlights client benefits

The European Fire and Security Group (EFSG) has further developed its brand identity and now appears in a fresh and more modern design.

Press Release 30/2023

Cologne/Germany, November 20th, 2023. As a founding member of the European Fire and Security Group, VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH is also committed to the highest standards in certification and conformity assessment at the European level. With a brand relaunch, the association of European certification bodies now highlights the advantages for its clients from the fire protection and security sector. The repositioning primarily includes a new logo, an expressive colour scheme and the completely revised website as a central information platform. In addition to an expanded content offering, customer documents, such as registration forms, certification documents or customer guides, can be found there with a new logo and in an updated design.

Network for security, trustworthiness, reliability

"The aim of the revamped brand identity is to make EFSG more visible, to bring it closer to the relevant sectors and, in doing so, to emphasise its values – security, trustworthiness and reliability," explains Thomas Urban, Managing Director of VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH. "In the newly designed logo, for example, the globe symbol is a reminder of the international approval of the certifications issued by EFSG members and the importance of their collaborative work."

EFSG enables efficient, transnational certification

EFSG is the association of established certification bodies in Europe working in the fields of fire protection and security. Its members have many years of experience in their respective sectors and enjoy the trust of the professional community.
