HAR Certificate: What It Is and How to Obtain One

What Is a HAR Certificate?

The HAR certificate confirms the conformity and safety of specific products, particularly harmonised cables and related electrical products covered under European harmonised standards. The certificate verifies that the product meets the defined standards and guidelines and that it is safe for its intended use. Product conformity and safety are key decision factors for buyers, and the HAR mark is a recognisable signal of product reliability in these categories.

How to Obtain a HAR Certificate

A HAR application runs through the following stages:

• Application: Sistem Patent Kalite files the HAR application on your behalf. The application identifies the product and the standards it must meet.
• Product assessment: the product is subject to an independent assessment covering conformity with the defined standards and safety requirements.
• Certification: once the assessment is completed successfully, the HAR certificate is issued, confirming the product's reliability.

Which Products Fall Under HAR?

HAR certification covers several product groups:

• Electrical products: sockets, cables, socket assemblies, and related components.
• Electronic products: computers, televisions, and household electronic goods within scope.
• Toys: children's toys and game consoles covered by harmonised standards.
• Industrial equipment: industrial machines and equipment.
• Electric-vehicle charging devices: chargers for electric vehicles.

HAR certification evidences the reliability of products where conformity and safety are business-critical.
