All products covered by the Directive under the CE must meet the requirements of the relevant directives and be affixed with the CE marking before they can enter the EU market. A product included by several directives need to comply with all of them and the manufacturers or importers need to issue a self-declaration of conformity to enter the EU market. In terms of the electronic and electrical products, the common directives are as follows: RED directive (2014/53/EU), electromagnetic compatibility directive (2014/30/EU), and low voltage directive (2014/35/EU). 1.2 ErP Introduction of ErP directive (2009/125/EC) In order to improve the EuP Directive 2005/32/EC and extend its scope, the European Union officially issued the Ecologi- cal Requirements Directive 2009/125/EC for energy-related products on October 31, 2009. This directive defines the framework of the ecological design requirement for Energy-related Products. The ErP Directive 2009/125./EC has replaced the original EuP Directive (2005/32/EC, 2008/28/EC) since November 20, 2009. The IM that was originally based on the EuP directive will be converted to the IM of this directive. Compared with the EuP Direc- tive, the major change of the ErP Directive is to extend the Energy-using Products in the original EuP Directive to Energy-related Products, which extends the scope of the EuP Directive. ‘Energy-related product’ means any good that has an impact on energy consumption during use which is placed on the market and/or put into ser- vice, and includes parts intended to be incorporated into energy-related products covered by this Directive which are placed on the market and/or put into service as individual parts for end-users and of which the environmental performance can be assessed independently. In addition to the energy-consuming products covered by the original EuP Directive, certain energy-related products, including products used in construction such as windows, insulation materials, or some water-using products such as shower heads or taps could also contribute to significant energy savings dur- ing use. Like the EuP, the ErP directive does not apply to the transportation of people and cargo either. 1 / 15 1 EUROPE 1.3 GS of Germany GS certification is a voluntary certification based on German safety law and tested in accordance with EU unified standards or German safety standards. It is a recognized German safety certification mark in the Europe market. As the awareness of GS safety certification has become popular among people, consumers are more prone to buy products with GS certification. 1.4 EAC EAC certification of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Eurasian Eco- nomic Union of Armenia. According to the Customs Union Regulation 768 on Au- gust 16, 2011, the technical regulation 004/2011 for low-voltage product safety and the technical regulation 020/2011 for electromagnetic compatibility were enforced on February 15, 2013, and the Eurasian Economic Union certification replaced the previous GOST R, STB, and GOST K. Products certified by the Eurasian Economic Union can pass freely in the Eurasian Economic Union countries (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia), without having to apply for the safety and electromagnetic compatibility certification of each country individually. The certifi- cate holders are manufacturers, importers, and distributors of member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. 1.5 FAC In Russia, the scope of Federal Communications Agency (FAC) certification covers wired, radio, and optical fiber communication devices connected to public telecommunication networks. FAC certification is divided into Declaration (DOC) and Certification (COC) according to product categories. FAC and DOC can be applied based on a valid CE test report and the sample will be sent to a local laboratory. Based on the FAC and COC, the samples of specified categories are required to be sent to Russia for tests. 2 / 15 2 AMERICA 2 America 2.1 FCC of the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC) certification is a compulsory certification of the United States mainly for electronic and electrical products with a spectral range from 9k Hz to 3000G Hz, covering radio interference issues involving radio and communications. The regulatory is CFR 47 (parts 15 & 18). Part 15: IT products and other devices that radiate radio frequency energy. Part 18: industrial, scientific, and medical devices used by mass consumers. Two FCC certification methods: SDoC Certification and FCC Certification. Radio products are required to be certified in accordance with FCC Certification and assigned an FCC ID number in the format of XXXXXYYYYYYYYYY. 2.2 ISED of Canada The Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada certification. This certification was originally known as the Industry Canada (IC) certification. Since 2016, the IC certification has been renamed the ISED Canada certification. This certification is used to accredit electronic and electrical products before they can enter the Canada market. Multiple types of products are supported, including broadcast and television devices, information technology devices, radio devices, telecommunication devices, and engineering and medical devices. This certification is similar to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. Each certified product is assigned an ISED number in the format of IC: XXXXX-YYYYYYYYY. 2.3 CEC of California, the US CEC is the Appliance Efficiency Regulations implemented by the California Energy Commission on December 30, 2005. The purpose is to reduce energy consumption in California thus improving the energy system, promoting the economy, and main- taining a healthy environment. The standards in this regulation apply to products sold or consigned in California. For more information, see the CEC-400-2017-002 regulation. 3 / 15 2 AMERICA 2.4 DOE of the US In order to save energy, the US Department of Energy (DOE) has made energy performance standards for the products. The relevant federal regulations are in chapters 400 to 499 of 10 CRF. Among them, electronic product manufacturers are most concerned about electronic consumer products. The relevant regulations are in chapters 429 and 430. The most concerned consumer products that are required to comply with DOE energy performance standards are external power adapters and chargers. Among them, the DOE requirements for chargers have been implemented since June 13, 2018. The “chargers” here refer to any products that include battery charging circuits, such as mobile phones and laptops. 2.5 ANATEL of Brazil ANATEL is the regulatory agency for telecommunication and radio devices in Brazil. Before you can get the approval of ANATEL, you must apply for the Certificate of Conformity that is issued by a Designated Certification Body (OCD) and prepare the required documents for approval. ANATEL is intended for radio frequency or telecommunication devices. ANATEL regulates the testing, electromagnetic com- patibility, and safety standards of radio frequency and telecommunication devices. Wireless portable products with a working range
