For small desktop fans to enter the South Korean market, the KC certification of batteries is an unavoidable threshold. As a mandatory safety certification system in South Korea, KC certification is based on the Electrical Appliance Safety Management Act, ensuring that batteries comply with South Korean national standards in terms of safety, environmental protection, and electromagnetic compatibility. It can be regarded as the \"entry ticket\" for products to enter the market legally.

On July 31, 2025, an important news came that the new industry standard IEC 63315 ED1 of USB-C PD 240W has entered the Enquiry stage and is scheduled to be officially released on July 31, 2026. It will completely replace the old standard IEC 62368-3 released in 2017.

On August 18, 2025, the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements under the new EU Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) officially came into effect. This means that all manufacturers and sellers of batteries or products containing batteries in EU countries must complete EPR registration in the corresponding country by that date and submit the registration number to e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and TEMU as required. Otherwise, their products will face the risk of being removed from shelves and banned from sale due to non-compliance.

If a vacuum cleaner is to enter the South Korean market, the KC certification of the battery is an unavoidable threshold. This is a mandatory certification promoted by the Korea Institute of Standards and Technology (KATS), which focuses on the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of electronic and electrical products. As the battery of a vacuum cleaner is a portable lithium battery, it has been explicitly included in the scope of mandatory certification.

Why can the battery of a sweeper purchased online remain safe in complex environments when transported across regions? This is inseparable from UN38.3 certification. It originates from Article 38.3 of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria for the Transport of Dangerous Goods and is a mandatory requirement for the air transportation of lithium batteries. After the 66th edition of the International Air Transport Association\'s (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations came into effect in 2025, restrictions were also imposed on the transportation capacity of lithium battery-containing equipment such as vacuum cleaners. This requirement will be officially enforced from 2026.

When selling smartwatches in the US market, FCC ID certification is an unavoidable topic. So, can smartwatches that do not have FCC ID certification be sold in the United States?

In the fields of consumer electronics and new energy, battery safety is an unavoidable topic, and the IEC 62133 report is precisely an important basis for measuring the safety of rechargeable batteries. This standard formulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission is not a single document but is divided into two parts, -1 and -2: -1 focuses on nickel-based batteries such as nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydride, while -2 focuses on lithium-ion and lithium-polymer lithium-based batteries. In 2025, a new short-circuit burning duration test item was added, further raising the safety threshold.

For manufacturers of smart pet feeders, every step from R&D and design to mass production and distribution is centered around \"seizing the market\". However, if the SRRC certification is ignored, even the best products may get stuck at the market launch stage. Especially for smart feeders equipped with wireless modules such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, SRRC certification is not an \"optional bonus\", but a mandatory \"compliance threshold\" required by the state. Without it, the product cannot pass the review and be listed on e-commerce platforms, and offline sales may also face sealing penalties due to non-compliance, directly causing the previous research and development and production investments to be wasted.
