2024 Version Of Lithium Battery And Power Bank Global Certification Strategy

Rechargeable lithium battery:
If the battery is exported to Thailand alone, it must apply for TISI certification and samples must be sent to local testing.

Power banks: Power banks with a DC output not exceeding 6V and a weight not exceeding 7kg must apply for TISI certification before they can be exported to Thailand, and samples must be sent to local testing.

Rechargeable lithium battery
You can use IEC 62133:2017 or IEC 62133:2017 +A1 CB certificate + test report + Korea National Difference transfer certificate, and you need to apply for KC62133-2 safety certificate.

power bank:
The power bank itself is not subject to KC control. The lithium battery pack inside is the subject of KC 62133-2 control.
Just click on the lithium battery pack to apply.

In order to avoid repeated certification, EMC and Safety will be managed separately from July 1, 2012. All electronic and electrical products applying for Korean certification must obtain KC certificates and KCCs respectively for their safety (Safety) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. Certificate (new MSIP). There are two qualification certification agencies certified by KC: Korea Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Testing Institute (KTC, Korea Testing Certification), and Korea Industrial Technology Testing Institute (KTL, Korea Electrical Testing Institute). These two are not only KC’s certification agencies, but also qualification testing laboratories.

In terms of safety standards, all products entering the Korean market need to comply with the Korean safety standard K standard (similar to the IEC standard). When using the IEC standard, the Korean requirements must be met. National differences can be found in the announcements in the IECEE CB system. In terms of EMC, the Korean EMI standard is similar to the CISPR standard, and the EMS standard is similar to the EN standard.

Rechargeable lithium battery:
The energy density is not less than 400Wh/L (excluding automobiles, electric bicycles, medical equipment, etc.
Lithium batteries used in industrial equipment) must comply with the corresponding lithium battery standard requirements and be affixed with a circular PSE mark on the product.

power bank:
If charging a lithium battery, the requirements are the same as above.

PSE certification basic information

Is it mandatory: Mandatory
Certificate validity: for diamond, 3-7 years, based on product. For round shapes, there is no validity period and no certificate. Only VOC can be issued.
Factory inspection requirements: For diamond-shaped products, only the first factory inspection is required, and no annual inspection is required. For round shapes, no factory inspection required
Licensee Requirements: For Diamond, Factory/Importer. For round shapes, no requirements

Technical information: Voltage frequency AC 100V, 50Hz /60Hz, plug JIS 8303
