What kind of electronic products need certification? [Copy link]

 

It is said that electronic products need certification, but I have not come into contact with it for several years. My first company made drone aerial cameras. I worked there for more than 2 years, and I never heard of the board I drew failing the certification. There were no problems with safety regulations, EMC, and ESD. I really didn’t figure out whether there was really no problem, or the product I made at that time didn’t need certification at all. Then I worked in a KVM company for a few months, only drawing schematics, and I also never heard of any certification issues from beginning to end. Usually, you can see certification marks on various home appliances, computers, and power adapters. The products I made did not require certification. The common feature is that they all have metal shells and are not connected to the mains, but are powered by batteries or power adapters. Is it because they are not consumer electronic products? Or because they are not sold publicly on a large scale, so they don’t need certification, as long as the customers can accept it?

As far as I know, medical products will be tested for hemolytic cytotoxicity, etc. Automotive products will be tested for IATF16949. Many products will be tested for RoHS if they want to enter the EU. We also have many national standards and 3C certifications.

In fact, the products made by the OP seem to be customized. If customers accept them, it means they have met their standards. Certification has more credibility because it is approved by professional organizations after all.

Large-scale listing requires declaration to various electronic product associations, and certification is required before declaration. Moreover, customers also need to obtain various certifications before cooperation, otherwise, won’t all kinds of "three no" products be available?

Let me be long-winded. For example, our cars, which are available on the market, are all approved by the industry association. The superposition of many generations of products naturally has very low risks. The homemade and assembled cars in the village can also be driven, but they do not have insurance coefficients and energy consumption ratios, but they can be used. If it were me, I would not dare to buy them because there are no professionals to help me make judgments.

I thought they all needed to be certified.

From the consumer's perspective, they also hope that the product will be put on the market after being tested by an institution.

Well, the things I did before were not consumer-oriented, so I don't need it?

It depends on the industry. Some industries have mandatory certification. Products with strong current plugs have 3C certification requirements, while weak current products do not have 3C mandatory requirements.

Exports to Europe require CE certification

Household appliances need 3C certification, some products only need safety testing, some need safety + EMC testing

If electronic products are sold on Tmall and JD.com, they basically need some certification certificates. Please refer to the specific requirements.

Ordinary household electronic products basically have CCC certification

There are many GB national standards, and all of them require certification. Generally, they involve personal safety, such as medical electronics/automotive electronics, etc., which have a relatively high risk factor.

Based on the legal requirements of the target market, there is no direct logical connection with the product category, that is, it is not a causal relationship, but the legal requirements are.

I thought all products had to be certified

A customer has a product that needs to pass EU standards and US standards to go to Europe, and also needs to check halogens, etc. The same product does not need to be exported to China.

Then the things I made before were not for consumers, so is it not necessary?

After all, people need to verify when buying your products, and I dare not use products without any quality assurance.

How can ordinary people understand what indicators are when buying electronic products? They just search on Baidu and think they understand. They believe whatever the experts say.

It's a bit harsh to say that there are three no products. Don't be too confident in your own knowledge.

It's not that your things are three or five, it's that ordinary consumers in the world buy a completely unfamiliar thing, this is what they think in their hearts
