Power supplies are the backbone of every electronic device, and it is essential to have a deep understanding of the various power supply certifications around the world. These certifications not only ensure that the power supplies are safe, reliable, and energy-efficient, but they also help manufacturers meet legal and regulatory requirements. Now let’s explore some of the most common certifications in major markets.
CE-Zertifizierung
CE-Zertifizierung is a mandatory mark for the European market, indicating that the product meets EU requirements for safety, health, environmental protection, and consumer protection. For power supply products, CE-Zertifizierung includes the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC). Power supplies with CE-Zertifizierung can circulate freely in the EU market.
UL-Zertifizierung
UL-Zertifizierung is a safety certification provided by Underwriters Laboratories in the United States. It primarily targets the North American market and is a crucial pass for power supply products entering the U.S. and Canadian markets. UL tests items include electrical safety, fire protection, and electromagnetic interference. Passing UL-Zertifizierung means the product meets North American safety standards.
CCC-Zertifizierung
CCC stands for China Compulsory Certification, it is China’s national mandatory certification system, applicable to various product categories including power supplies. CCC-Zertifizierung aims to ensure product safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental protection. CCC certified power supply products can be sold in the Chinese market.
FCC-Zertifizierung
FCC-Zertifizierung is the Federal Communications Commission’s standard for controlling electromagnetic interference (EMI). For power supply products, FCC-Zertifizierung ensures they do not cause harmful electromagnetic interference to other electronic devices during use. Obtaining FCC-Zertifizierung is a necessary condition for power supplies entering the U.S. market.
PSE-Zertifizierung
PSE-Zertifizierung is a mandatory certification under Japan’s Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law, applicable to power supply devices in the Japanese market. PSE-Zertifizierung is divided into two marks: diamond PSE mark and circular PSE mark, which are applicable to different product categories. Power supplies with PSE-Zertifizierung can be sold in the Japanese market.
The safety and reliability of power supplies are crucial for both consumers and manufacturers. Through the above certifications, power supply products not only can be legally sold in major markets but also ensure their safety, reliability, environmental protection, and efficiency. These certifications are not only symbols of quality but also protections for consumer rights. Therefore, power supply manufacturers must strictly follow various certification standards in product design and production, ensuring product safety and reliability, and smoothly entering the global market to win more consumer trust.
