S-mark/PSB Certification

 S-mark/PSB Certification



Background: Spring (Singapore Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board) is Singapore's safety regulatory body. It has implemented the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Registration Scheme (CPS), which regulates the quality of 45 categories of household appliances, electronic products, and gas products to ensure they meet specific safety requirements and protect consumer interests. Regulated products must obtain safety certification and register with Spring. Certified products must bear the Spring Safety Mark (PSB certification) before they can be sold.


PSB Certification Scope: 45 specific categories of electrical products, including: refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, fans, kitchen appliances, irons, and hair styling appliances; audio products; personal computers and peripherals; plugs, sockets, fuses, cable reels, gas-related components, and complete units.


PSB Certification Process: Before product certification, the product supplier or their Singapore agent must first register with Spring. Spring registers the supplier and assigns a unique code (consisting of three capital letters). The registered supplier becomes a "Registered Supplier." Samples are tested in a Spring-accredited laboratory or CB laboratory to obtain the relevant RTL or CB test report. The applicant submits a certification application to a Spring-accredited CAB. After product certification, the CAB issues a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and applies for product registration with Spring. The manufacturer can affix or print the safety mark on the product or packaging.


Technical Information: Voltage and Frequency: 230V, 50Hz; Plug Standard: SS145: Part 1: 1997 or SS 472: 1999; Climate Type: T (Tropical Climate)


PSB Certification Notes: The CoC holder must be a local Singapore agent and must first register with Spring and obtain a unique Registered Supplier Code (RS Code).


Each certificate can only contain one model number and one trademark. The certificate holder must be a local Singapore company; there are no factory inspections or annual fees.


PSB Certification Validity: Three years. 5. If the product has a plug, an SS246 test and certification report is required!

6. Product certification cannot be applied for as a "series" (each certificate can only cover a single model).

Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued

图片
 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...

What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration?

 What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration? I. What is the FDA? The FDA, authorized by the U.S. Congress (the federal government), is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug regulation. Its full name is the Food and Drug Administration. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as FDA certification; the FDA itself has stated this. Generally, when people talk about FDA certification, they are referring to the following three types: FDA registration, FDA testing, and FDA approval. ① FDA Registration: Companies exporting food, drugs, and medical devices to the United States must register with the FDA, listing their company and products. Otherwise, customs clearance will be denied; this is a mandatory requirement. ② FDA Testing: FDA testing primarily refers to safety testing of food contact materials, testing of product contact packaging, biocompatibility testing of medical products, and clinical safety testing. ③ FDA Approval: This usually appli...
