Fortress adheres to the following four key principles of authorized goods to ensure customer safety, allowing consumers to confidently purchase high-value electrical products!

1. Compliance with International Safety Standards (IEC)

A series of safety standards established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) aims to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical products. These standards cover all aspects from product design, material selection to manufacturing processes, with particular attention to preventing electrical failures, overheating, and other potential hazards. Products that meet IEC standards must undergo rigorous testing and assessment to ensure they operate safely under normal use, without posing risks to users. For instance, these standards require products to have appropriate insulation, fire resistance, and overload protection mechanisms, thereby reducing the risks of electric shock and fire. By purchasing authorized electrical appliances that comply with IEC standards, consumers can rest assured that the products have followed internationally recognized safety regulations during design and testing, providing important safety assurances.

2. Locally Specified Three-Prong Plugs

Three-prong plugs that comply with local specifications ensure safe grounding, stable power connections, and suitability for high-power devices, guaranteeing the safety of appliances used in Hong Kong.

3. Energy Efficiency Labels

In Hong Kong, the Energy Efficiency (Labelling) Ordinance (Cap. 598) explicitly requires appliances such as dehumidifiers, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines to display energy labels approved by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department. Consumers can easily identify energy efficiency and save on electricity costs, achieving both environmental and economic benefits.

4. GU Mark for Gas Appliances

Authorized gas appliances, including gas cooking stoves and gas water heaters, must obtain the GU mark approved by the Gas Safety Division of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department. Gas appliances with the GU mark are equipped with flame failure devices that automatically cut off the gas supply when no flame is detected, preventing gas leaks.
