These tests, in accordance with the standards established by TÜV Nord (an independent certification body), involve simulations of situations that occur in the normal daily use of a product. Vogel's carries out these tests to ensure that we deliver the quality we promise. The following tests are performed on our products:

• Endurance test - This test simulates normal daily use of a product over a period of 10 years;
• Overload test - During this test, products are loaded with 3 to 5 times the maximum weight indicated.

The result of these tests is that Vogel’s products carry the TÜV Nord certification standard. This means that they have passed the tests with flying colours!
