The export of digital accessories needs to comply with the international certification and standards of the target market, and the requirements of different countries and regions vary. The following is a list of necessary certifications and standards for major markets for reference:
I. Global common core certification
CE certification (EU)
Scope of application: All digital accessories exported to the EU (such as chargers, data cables, headphones, etc.).
Core standards:
EMC Directive (Electromagnetic Compatibility, EN 55032/EN 55035)
LVD Directive (Low Voltage Safety, EN 62368-1)
RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances, EN 63000)
Note: CE is a mandatory EU certification, which requires labeling and retaining technical documents.
FCC certification (USA)
Scope of application: Digital accessories that are wireless or have electromagnetic radiation (such as Bluetooth devices, wireless chargers).
Core standards:
FCC Part 15 (Electromagnetic Interference of Electronic Equipment)
Wireless products must additionally comply with FCC ID certification.
RoHS/REACH (EU)
RoHS: restricts 6 types of hazardous substances such as lead and mercury (similar to China’s RoHS).
REACH: need to declare substances of very high concern (SVHC) in products.
II. Key certifications by region
- North American market
UL certification (US/Canada)
Power accessories (such as power banks and charging heads) must comply with UL 62368-1 (safety standard).
Not mandatory but widely required by platforms such as Amazon.
Energy Star
Applicable to chargers, adapters, etc., to prove energy efficiency (such as EPA VI level energy efficiency).
CPC certification (children’s products)
If the accessories are for children (such as headphones), they must comply with ASTM F963 and CPSIA.
- EU market
RED certification (wireless products)
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi devices must comply with the Radio Equipment Directive (EN 300 328).
ErP Directive (energy efficiency)
Chargers must meet standby power consumption requirements (EU 2019/1782).
WEEE Directive
Registered recycling logo (classified trash can icon).
- Asian market
CCC certification (China)
Power adapters, lithium batteries, etc. require mandatory certification (GB 4943.1 standard).
PSE certification (Japan)
Circular PSE (non-mandatory) or diamond PSE (power supply mandatory, such as JIS C 62368).
KC certification (Korea)
Wireless devices must comply with KCC standards (similar to RED).
- Other regions
RCM certification (Australia/New Zealand)
Merge EMC and electrical safety (AS/NZS 62368.1).
BIS certification (India)
Lithium batteries, chargers, etc. must comply with IS 16046.
III. Product-specific certification
Battery accessories (power bank, lithium battery)
UN38.3: Global aviation transport safety certification (lithium battery essential).
IEC 62133: International battery safety standard (commonly used in EU/Japan).
Wireless charger
Qi certification: WPC Alliance standard (market general requirements).
SAR test: for radio frequency devices (such as mobile phone holders with antennas).
Data cable/interface
USB-IF certification: ensure compatibility (such as USB-C cables must comply with USB4 standards).
IV. Other considerations
Packaging and labeling
EU: CE, WEEE symbol, trash can icon required.
US: FCC ID, energy label (if applicable).
Amazon compliance requirements
Provide DOC (declaration of conformity), test report (ISO 17025 laboratory).
Environmental trends
New EU regulations (such as the unified charging interface in 2025) need to be continuously monitored.
V. Operational suggestions
Plan ahead: Choose certification according to the target market, and give priority to mandatory projects (such as CE, FCC).
Choose a compliant laboratory: such as TÜV, SGS, BV and other institutions to issue reports.
Dynamic updates: Pay attention to regulatory changes (such as the EU’s new battery regulations will take effect in 2027).
If you need a certification plan for a specific product (such as TWS headphones or fast charging heads), further details can be provided for an accurate answer.
