BEAB Control’s Mark Scheme
Intertek also offers the ‘BEAB Controls’ mark scheme. This scheme enables manufacturers who supply switch assemblies and controls to appliance manufacturers to demonstrate the reliability and safety of their products. The Standards included in the scheme are ‘thermal controls’ EN 60730-1, ‘thermal links’ EN 60691 and ‘switches’ EN 61058-1.
