Certification introduction
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is a government agency in Canada that oversees and enforces energy efficiency regulations—the regulations set requirements for minimum energy consumption performance levels for various energy-consuming products, label energy-consuming products, and collect energy use data.
All regulated products imported into Canada for sale or lease or transferred from the manufacturing province to another region (trans-provincial transportation) should meet the energy efficiency standards set by the Energy Efficiency Regulations. Therefore, Natural Resources Canada stipulates that all regulated products must obtain energy efficiency verification marks from certification bodies recognized by the Canadian Standards Council (SCC).
Applicable product range
Washing machines, clothes dryers, dry cleaning machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, ice machines, air conditioners, three-phase induction motors, lamps, televisions, power supplies, gas water heaters, fuel water heaters, gas heaters, gas fireplaces, etc.
Battery charging products enter the Canadian market after June 13, 2019. Please comply with Canada ’s mandatory NRCan certification and online submission. At the same time, subsequent certification bodies will conduct annual market sampling inspections, with a sampling rate of approximately 1% Basic model.
The requirements and control scope of the following 7 types of products regarding the "Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards" have been enhanced:
Electric motor
Household gas boiler;
Domestic kerosene boilers;
Dry-type transformer
Large air-conditioning facilities and heat pumps;
Commercial integrated refrigerator;
Incandescent lamp with reflector;
New requirements are proposed for the following product minimum energy efficiency standards and reporting matters:
Electronic product standby energy consumption
-Audio products
-TV, monitor, etc.
-Video playback products
External power supply
Digital TV adapter
Electric boiler
Single stereo air conditioner and heat pump
Mandatory directives for manufacturers and importers
All manufacturers and importers must follow the directive to ensure that the products produced and imported meet the minimum energy efficiency standards required by the directive. Manufacturers and importers should pass the test of an accredited third-party certification body to obtain a compliance report and certificate.
KC certification is a mandatory certification system implemented in South Korea for electronic and electrical products, aimed at ensuring that products comply with South Korea\'s safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. The Korean market has strict quality control over imported goods, and smart rings, as electronic products, must pass KC certification in order to be legally sold in the Korean market.
CE-RED certification is a mandatory compliance requirement of the European Union for wireless devices. For smartwatches with wireless functions such as Bluetooth and Wi Fi, its importance is mainly reflected in the following three aspects.
The Brazilian market has enormous potential, but in order to successfully enter, ANATEL certification is an essential first step. As an authoritative standard certified by the Brazilian Communications Authority, ANATEL certification is not only a guarantee of product quality, but also a legal entry threshold into the Brazilian market.
