When Su-Kam Became the First Indian Inverter Company to Get CE Certification
A Milestone That Opened Europe’s Doors to Indian Power Backup
In the early 2000s, if you wanted to sell electronics in Europe, you needed one thing: the CE mark — Conformité Européenne. Without it, your product couldn’t legally enter the European market. No Indian inverter company had ever achieved this certification.
Su-Kam changed that.
Su-Kam Power Systems was awarded the Conformité Européenne (CE) certification by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), a Norwegian certification authority recognized worldwide. This was the first time any Indian company had received CE certification in the inverter and UPS category.

Why This Mattered
The CE mark wasn’t just a sticker — it was proof that Su-Kam’s products met European safety, health, and environmental standards. For a company that started in a garage in Delhi in 1988, this was validation on the world stage. It opened doors to European markets and gave our Gulf and African distributors confidence that they were selling internationally certified products.
This was part of a larger export strategy — we had already started exporting to Sri Lanka (2003), Nigeria, Kenya, and the Gulf countries. The CE mark accelerated our expansion to 90+ countries.
