In the UL-related certification system, there are obvious differences between UL certification and UL test reports. Understanding these differences helps enterprises make appropriate choices based on their own needs.
UL1642 standard is a safety standard specifically formulated by Underinsurance Laboratories (UL) of the United States for lithium batteries, which has extremely strict regulations on the design, testing and manufacturing processes of batteries. The core objective of this standard is to ensure the safety of lithium batteries under various extreme conditions and prevent dangerous accidents such as fires and explosions.
Conducting quality inspections on wireless chargers and obtaining reports is not only a guarantee for product safety but also an important way to enhance the market value of the products. Its significance is reflected in multiple dimensions.
In the modern consumer market, the quality inspection report of wireless chargers has become a key certificate for product circulation and market competition, and its role permeates multiple links of business activities.
On June 25, 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) officially announced that 3 substances will be included in the SVHC list. So far, the EU SVHC candidate list has been officially updated to 250 items.
On June 23, 2025, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an announcement on the implementation rules for quality supervision and random inspection of 136 products such as lithium-ion batteries/battery packs, mobile power supplies, and outdoor power supplies. It will be implemented from the date of release, and the previously released implementation rules for supervision and random inspection of the same products will be abolished at the same time.
On June 5, 2025, the Korean National Radio Research Agency (RRA) issued Announcement No. 2025-41 to revise the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) test standards for some wireless devices, involving version updates of multiple KS standards. The new regulations will affect the certification process of wireless communications, broadband equipment and DECT products. Enterprises need to adjust the test plan in time to ensure compliance.
Some enterprises have a cognitive misunderstanding: they think that the whole machine is not included in the CCC directory, and the built-in lithium battery does not need to be certified either. In fact, the lithium battery certification for portable electronic products (limited to audio and video and information technology categories) is independent of the entire machine. For instance, even if the speaker product has been removed from the CCC directory, its internal lithium battery still needs to pass the test of the GB 31241-2022 standard.
