With the popularity of fast charging technology, charging heads supporting the PD protocol have become the "just need" in the field of consumer electronics. However, in order to comply with sales in the domestic market, 3C certification is not only a legal threshold, but also a "technical identity card" for product safety and quality. How do I get certified while meeting fast charge performance? Enterprises need to strike a balance between technical specifications and market rules.
3C certification: The "key checkpoint" for market access
According to the requirements of the State Administration of Market Regulation, the PD charging head is included in the 3C compulsory certification directory and needs to pass GB/T 26243 and other standard tests. Certification covers core items such as electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and material flame retardant, such as output overvoltage protection and abnormal temperature control. Products that are not certified not only face the risk of removal from the shelves, but are more likely to damage the brand reputation due to safety hazards.
Safe fast charging: two-way rush for performance and compliance
Although PD protocol supports dynamic voltage regulation, high power output puts forward strict requirements for circuit design. Enterprises need to strictly check the chip selection, heat dissipation structure, insulation materials and other links to avoid overload, short circuit and other risks. For example, gallium nitride (GaN) technology can improve energy efficiency, but the PCB layout needs to be optimized simultaneously to reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure that the test passes once.
Certification Guide: From the laboratory to the market "customs clearance password"
Enterprises need to dock with testing institutions in advance and clarify the testing rules. Common "stuck points" include details such as insufficient USB-C interface plug life and missing identification information. It is recommended to introduce the certification pre-inspection process in the research and development stage, pay attention to international standards such as EU CE and US FCC, and reserve compatibility space for products to go to sea.
For manufacturers, 3C certification is not the end, but the starting point to build market competitiveness. Only by embedding security genes into the core of fast charging technology can we win the long-term trust of consumers on the basis of compliance - after all, real "fast" never comes at the expense of security.
