In the field of power electronics, safety, performance, and compliance are critical. Consumers and businesses alike depend on reliable power solutions that adhere to the highest industry standards. Certifications such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), CE (Conformité Européenne), FCC (Federal Communications Commission), and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) help ensure products meet stringent requirements for electrical safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
At Coolgear, we are committed to delivering power solutions that exceed industry standards. Our latest ChargeIt! Mini 99W Dual Port USB-A & USB-C PD Charger (CG-PD99PPS) is an example of this commitment—designed to meet UL 2089, IEC 62368-1, CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance. Below, we explore why these certifications matter, their impact on product quality, and how we can assist in obtaining certifications for other products.
Why Compliance Certifications Matter
Certifications are more than just a stamp of approval—they are an assurance that a product is safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible. Certified products undergo rigorous testing to ensure they:
- Meet safety standards to protect against electrical faults, overheating, and power surges.
- Demonstrate long-term reliability under various environmental and operational conditions.
- Reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) for seamless operation with other electronic devices.
- Adhere to environmental regulations, limiting the use of hazardous substances in electronics.
For businesses, investing in certified products means enhanced credibility, reduced liability, and a stronger market position.
Key Compliance Standards and Their Importance
1. UL 2089 – Safety for Vehicle Battery Adapters
Why It Matters: Ensures chargers used in vehicles meet fire resistance, overcurrent protection, and durability standards.
Application in PD99: Our ChargeIt! Mini 99W carries UL 2089 certification, verifying its safety for in-car use—making it an excellent solution for travelers, rideshare drivers, and mobile professionals.
2. IEC 62368-1 – International Safety Standard
Why It Matters: This globally recognized safety standard applies to IT, AV, and power electronics, ensuring protection against electrical, thermal, and mechanical hazards.
Application in PD99: The ChargeIt! Mini 99W is IEC 62368-1 certified, meaning it meets international safety requirements, making it ideal for global markets.
3. CE Certification – European Market Readiness
Why It Matters: Required for products sold in the European Union, CE compliance guarantees that a device meets strict health, safety, and environmental regulations, including EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards.
Application in PD99: The ChargeIt! Mini 99W meets CE compliance, ensuring safe and interference-free operation in European markets.
4. FCC Part 15 – U.S. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Why It Matters: Prevents electronic devices from emitting excessive RF interference, which can disrupt wireless networks and other electronic equipment.
Application in PD99: Our charger meets FCC Part 15 Subpart B standards, ensuring smooth operation in homes, offices, and mobile applications.
5. RoHS 2.0 – Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Manufacturing
Why It Matters: The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive prohibits harmful chemicals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in electronic products.Application in PD99: RoHS 2.0 compliance confirms our commitment to sustainability and consumer safety, reducing the environmental impact of our electronics.
