Certification Introduction
USB- is the abbreviation of Universal Serial BUS (Universal Serial Bus) in English, and its Chinese abbreviation is "through serial line", which supports the plug-and-play and hot-plug function of the device. USB was jointly proposed and formulated by Intel, NEC, Compaq, DEC, IBM (Microsoft, Northern Telecom) in 1994, and released the USBV0.7 version on November 11, 1994, and has now developed into 3.1 Version. USB has the advantages of fast transmission speed, convenient use, support for hot plugging, flexible connection, and independent power supply. The USB certification is also called USB-IF certification, which is a voluntary symbolic certification implemented by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF).

USB-IF Certification Test Content
There are three main categories of certification testing for USB peripherals. The first is the electrical characteristic test, which verifies the signal quality of the product under different application architectures. This is followed by functional testing to check higher-level product details such as support for standard requirements and device enumeration capabilities. Finally, there is product interoperability testing, which is used to determine how the product under test interacts with other USB devices.
Why do you need USB certification?
USB certification is generally based on the requirements of the client. USB functions used in high-end products generally need to apply for USB certification. After USB products apply for association certification, they can use the USB logo and obtain the TID number of the USB product. If USB products want to use this logo and have TID numbers, they must first apply to the USB Association to become their members, and then they can apply for component certification after they have membership.
The ELI Global Efficient Lighting Product Certification Program is a voluntary international certification program that aims to promote and promote efficient lighting products worldwide, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve the purpose of market conversion of efficient lighting products. The ELI project started in 2000 and has been successfully promoted in 7 countries including Argentina, Peru, Philippines, Czech Republic, Latvia, South Africa and Hungary, and has gained wide recognition.

Certification Introduction
MTBF certification refers to the certification of the mean time between failures of the product, and the full English name is "Mean Time Between Failure". In fact, MTBF refers to the MTBF test report, which is a report on product reliability prediction. MTBF is a reliability index to measure a product (especially electrical products). The unit is "hours". It reflects the time quality of the product and reflects the ability of the product to maintain its function within the specified time. Specifically, it refers to the average working time between two adjacent failures, also known as the mean interval between failures. In a nutshell, the product with fewer failures is more reliable, and the ratio of the total number of product failures to the total number of life units is called the "failure rate". It only applies to serviceable products. At the same time, it is also stipulated that the ratio of the cumulative working time to the number of failures in the total use phase of the product is MTBF. Generally, the MTBF of disk array products cannot be lower than 50,000 hours.
The reference standards that MTBF usually correspond to are:
• Telcordia SR 232
• US military standard MIL-HDBK-217
• National Military Standard GJB/Z 299B
Certification Background
The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security announced that starting from June 1, 2020, the "One Helmet, One Belt" protection operation will be carried out across the country. Riding motorcycles and electric bicycles without wearing safety helmets and driving without using seat belts will be strictly investigated. Correctly wearing helmets and using seat belts can reduce the risk of traffic accident death by 60% to 70%. For non-motorized cyclists, helmets are equivalent to the seat belts worn by motor vehicle drivers. The last line of defense. Helmets for electric bicycles and motorcycles require compulsory product certification, that is, CCC certification.
Definition of Helmet：
Helmet: A device that reduces head injuries to motorcycle occupants in an accident.
Scope of application: It is suitable for helmets worn by motorcycle occupants and electric bicycles (including drivers and passengers).
Note: Sports helmets without goggles only need a test report, which is not within the scope of mandatory CCC certification.
Helmet CCC Certified National Standard：
GB 811-2010 "Motorcycle Crew Helmets"
Certification Introduction
PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board) refers to the Personal Communication Service Type Certification Review Board, established in 1997 by North American mobile operators. Operators are not limited to North America, but include members of mobile operators around the world. Its purpose is to provide type certification for end products and templates including Cellular GERAN (GSM), UTRAN (UMTS) and E-UTRAN (LTE).
In order to ensure that your mobile phone or communication device can work on the mobile network of the PTCRB operator, the device must be certified by the PTCRB. This is also to ensure that your product matches the mobile standards of the operator's network. Therefore, for equipment products that are not PTCRB certified, PTCRB operators will prevent the product from running and working on their network.
Authentication Basic Information
• Is it mandatory: Quasi-mandatory certification
• Controlled products: communication products
• Mandatory region: North America and some South American countries
• Factory Inspection: None
• Certificate validity: unlimited
North American requirements
Operator access certification
In the United States, the operator access certification is also known as the PTCRB certification test. PTCRB is an audit committee responsible for PCS model certification established in North America in 1997. At the same time, a verification group was established, which is mainly responsible for the certification of PCR mobile terminal models and IMEI allocation.
PTCRB certification is a quasi-mandatory type certification carried out by a third-party certification agency. All PCS terminal equipment put on the North American market must pass the PTCRB certification and apply for IMEI according to the report. What is used here is quasi-mandatory. Mandatory should be a requirement issued by government regulatory authorities, but PTCRB is not a government, but a forum, but it is very authoritative. The reason is that dealers entering North America must follow this requirement. Test the product provided by the manufacturer, so it is called quasi-mandatory.
Certification Requirements
GSM 850, GSM 1900, FDD BAND II, FDD BAND IV and FDD BAND V are tested according to the OTA test standard issued by CTIA.

• The testing period mainly depends on the functions supported by the mobile phone. For example, the frequency band supported by the mobile phone, whether the mobile phone supports GPRS Class10, whether it supports EDGE, whether it supports half-rate, etc. According to different situations, the length of the test varies greatly, and the test cycle is also affected by the rectification and debugging of the mobile phone during the test process.
What is Wi-Fi Certification?
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED is an internationally recognized product certification standard, indicating that products meet industry-recognized standards for interoperability, security, and a range of application-specific protocols. When a product successfully passes the test, the manufacturer or distributor is authorized to use the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED mark. Certification means that a product has been tested in various configurations with other devices, and the devices used for testing are drawn in different ways to confirm that the product is compatible with other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices operating on the same frequency band. interoperability.
A wide range of consumer, enterprise and carrier-specific products, including smartphones, appliances, computers and peripherals, network infrastructure and consumer electronics, can be certified. On the retail side, the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo gives consumers confidence in a product, ensuring that the product provides a good user experience and meets industry standards. Service providers and enterprise IT managers specify that products must have Wi-Fi CERTIFIED to reduce support costs and ensure products meet industry-recognized requirements.

Basic Introduction
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is chemical safety data sheet, which can also be translated into chemical safety data sheet or chemical safety data sheet. It is used by chemical manufacturers and importers to clarify the physical and chemical properties of chemicals (such as pH value, flash point, flammability, reactivity, etc.) and the possible harm to the health of users (such as carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, etc.) One document.
In European countries, Material Safety Technology/Data Sheet MSDS is also called Safety Technology/Data Sheet SDS (Safety Data Sheet). The International organization for Standardization (ISO) uses the SDS term, while the United States, Canada, Australia, and many countries in Asia use the MSDS term. MSDS is a comprehensive legal document about chemical characteristics provided by chemical production or sales enterprises to customers as required by law. It provides 16 items such as physical and chemical parameters of chemicals, explosive performance, health hazards, safe use and storage, leakage disposal, first aid measures and relevant laws and regulations. MSDS can be prepared by the manufacturer according to relevant rules. However, in order to ensure the accuracy and standardization of the report, you can apply to a professional organization for the preparation.
SDS Difference
• Both the European Union and the International organization for Standardization (ISO) use SDS terminology, but in the United States, Canada, SDS marks;
• In Australia and many countries in Asia, SDS (Safety Data Sheet) can also be used as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), and the functions of the two technical documents are basically the same.
In my country, the standard GBT16483-2000 before 2008 was called CSDS, and the revised standard GBT16483-2008 "Chemical Safety Data Sheet Content and Item Sequence" in 2008 was unified with the International organization for Standardization, abbreviated as SDS. The two abbreviations SDS and MSDS play exactly the same role in the supply chain, with only some minor differences in content.
What is SDS?
SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is a safety data sheet, which is a comprehensive document about chemical composition information, physicochemical properties, hazard identification, safe use measures, storage information, transportation measures and other information. It is the transmission of material information in the supply chain. It is also one of the main ways of information transmission and one of the information transmission carriers required by the EU REACH regulation.
REACH regulations require suppliers to provide all downstream users and distributors with the SDS of the substances or preparations that meet the hazard classification criteria when they send a substance or preparation for the first time. The hazard information and safety protection recommendations of chemicals contained in SDS can provide professional users with necessary measures for human health and environmental safety protection.
Which products require SDS?
• Substances or preparations classified as dangerous according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC or 1999/45/EC;
• Substances determined to be persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) or highly persistent, highly bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria specified in Annex XIII of the EU REACH Regulation;
• Preparations that are not classified as hazardous but contain hazardous substances.
Or when the product does not meet the above conditions, but the importer requires it or the industry has stricter requirements for product substance classification and labelling, the enterprise also needs to pass SDS on its supply chain.
Lithium battery products need to use MSDS/SDS report when applying for UN38.3 (transport identification report).
