Center Certification & Testing International
On July 11th, 2025, led by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India (MeitY), a stakeholder consultation meeting on the transition of electronic equipment safety standards was held. The conference focused on the current two standards, IS 13252 (Part 1): 2020 and IS 616: 2017, which will be replaced by the new standard IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 (4th edition) in the future. This standard update aims to make Indian regulations more in line with international standards, which will have a significant impact on the electronic equipment industry.
On July 31st, 2025, the fourth edition (Edition 4) of UL 62368-1 was officially released, which is of great significance to manufacturers in related industries. For enterprises that are interested in applying for this version of certification, now is the right time to start preparing.
In the wave of globalized trade, all kinds of products that want to enter the EU market must cross strict compliance certification thresholds. Cylindrical batteries, as key components in the new energy field, CE certification is a necessary condition for their legal circulation in the EU market. CE certification is not a simple single test, but a comprehensive and mandatory requirement of the European Union for product safety, health and environmental protection in multiple aspects. When a product is marked with the CE mark, it means it complies with relevant EU directives and can be freely sold in the 27 EU member states and countries in the European Economic Area.
In the globalized market environment, product certification is crucial for enterprises to enter specific markets. For cylindrical battery products, if they want to enter the Japanese market, PSE certification is a threshold that must be crossed.
As a core component in portable electronic devices, new energy storage and other fields, 18650 cylindrical batteries must pass the mandatory KC certification if they want to enter the South Korean market. This certification system is an important mechanism for South Korea to ensure market access, with clear regulations on product safety and compliance.
18650 cylindrical batteries, which are widely used in portable electronic devices, new energy storage and other fields, have become the mainstream choice due to their high energy density and standardized structure. The UN38.3 certification, as an internationally recognized safety standard for battery transportation, has built a crucial defense line for the cross-border circulation of such batteries.
As one of the mainstream specifications of lithium-ion batteries, the CCC certification for 18650 cylindrical batteries is a legal prerequisite for their circulation in the Chinese market. From the perspective of professional testing and certification, this certification is not only a rigid assessment of product safety performance, but also an important opportunity for enterprises to standardize production processes and enhance quality control capabilities.
In order to further strengthen the compulsory product certification management of mobile power supply, lithium-ion battery and battery pack, and ensure product quality and safety, CNCA issued Announcement No.15 of 2025 on July 28th, 2025, and officially launched a new version of the Implementation Rules for Compulsory Product Certification (for Trial Implementation) for mobile power supply, lithium-ion battery and battery pack (CNCA-C09-02:2025).
