What is European Power Cord?

European standard power cord, also known as European AC power cord, is a type of power connection cable that complies with European standards. Its standard plug is SChuko CEE 7/7, with a current of 16 amperes and a voltage of 250 volts. There are two types of plugs, including 2-pole plugs and 3-pole plugs with grounding, providing users with safer power connection options.

1. The Standard for the European Power Cord

European standard power cords are widely used in various fields such as household appliances and electrical tools, etc. The design standards of the European standard power cords must be certified by the VDE Testing and Certification Institute in Offenbach, Germany. This research institute is affiliated with the German Institute of Electrical Engineers (VDE) and serves as a neutral and independent certification body. It conducts strict inspections and certifications of electrical products in accordance with the German VDE national standards, European EN standards, VDE certification certificate standards, or IEC International Electrotechnical Commission standards.

The VDE certification mark enjoys a global reputation and is widely recognized in many countries, even more well-known than the domestic certification mark. Importers, exporters, and consumers have high trust in VDE certification as it represents strict quality standards and reliable product performance. Therefore, an increasing number of electrical safety component suppliers hope that their products can obtain VDE certification to demonstrate the high-level safety and quality of their products.
