Ｑ＆Ａ Q: Why Choose Chinway? Quality * We adjust our testing schedule to meet your project timeline.   Integrity * Chinway has accumulated many years of experience in the industry.   Professionalism * Customized quotations to ensure your testing and budget requirements are met. Q: How can I ensure my product meets EMC requirements? Select the Target Market EMC requirements vary from country to country. It is essential to have a thorough understanding of the current regulatory demands of the target market. For example, countries like India currently have no formal EMC regulations, whereas Taiwan has very strict requirements in this area.     Self-Declaration In recent years, regulatory authorities around the world have shifted from traditional application submission methods—which are often slow and inefficient—to manufacturer self-testing and declaration processes. This means that products can now be labeled with CE and FCC marks and shipped to the EU and the United States without prior government approval. However, self-testing and declaration do not mean that imported products are exempt from complying with CE standards. In fact, placing CE or FCC marks on non-compliant products can result in serious consequences if discovered during inspection. Chinway Technology is equipped with certified facilities and technical expertise to provide reliable test reports, ensuring your goods pass customs smoothly and avoiding unnecessary issues.   Third-Party Verification Independent third-party laboratories can verify product compliance through testing. This method enhances the credibility of product quality and conformity, especially in marketing and certification assurance.   Official Certification Certain countries have specific management requirements for certain products.For example:In Taiwan, all imported products must be reviewed by the government and granted a BSMI certificate.In the EU, manufacturers are allowed to declare CE compliance through self-declaration.In the U.S., wireless transmission products must be submitted for official FCC evaluation and certification.It’s important to note that, in addition to testing fees, certification submission fees typically apply. These can range from a few hundred to several thousand U.S. dollars, depending on the certification body and product type. Q: If I commission Chinway for testing, how long will the certification process take? 4o Standard Process：Approximately 14 working daysIn Case of Urgent Situations：Chinway understands that customers may have urgent needs requiring expedited testing. In such cases, please notify us immediately, and we will handle it as a priority case to ensure your product testing is completed within the planned timeline. Q: Can I self-declare compliance with specific standards? Some regulations allow self-declaration of compliance with standards, while others require testing to be conducted by an independent third-party laboratory. In both cases, you are obligated to provide test data as evidence that the product meets the applicable requirements. Using a professional and independent third-party laboratory helps ensure the completeness of the test items and the reliability of the test data. Q: How many samples are required for testing, and will they be returned afterward? The number of samples required depends on the specific test items selected. During the testing process, samples may be damaged and cannot be returned in their original condition. If full sample return is required, please specify this clearly when initiating the project. Q: I want to sell my product in a specific market. What should I do? Most countries have regulatory requirements for imported products. Each regulation or standard has different specifications depending on the type of product.Chinway provides professional knowledge and experience to help you navigate the process smoothly and avoid unnecessary complications. Q: What should I do if the product fails during pre-evaluation or testing? Chinway Technology’s senior technical engineers can provide professional modification suggestions to help you quickly identify the issue and propose economical and practical solutions.

FAQ Q: What is EMC? EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) refers to the ability of a product or device to operate properly in its electromagnetic environment without causing unacceptable interference to other nearby equipment. Therefore, EMC includes two main aspects: EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): The phenomenon where electromagnetic energy generated by an electrical or electronic product interferes with other electronic or electrical devices in use. EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): The phenomenon where an electronic or electrical product experiences degradation or abnormal behavior due to electromagnetic energy from the surrounding environment.

Only products with the CE mark can be imported into EU countries. This market, with a population of approximately 400 million, relies heavily on imported electronic products — the majority of which come from Asia. The CE mark is not a symbol of product quality; it does not represent overall product performance or excellence. It simply indicates that the product complies with the directives set by the European Union. European authorities enforce CE compliance through various methods, such as random sampling. Misuse of the CE mark may result in penalties for the applicant or the person who signed the Declaration of Conformity (DoC), including fines, product removal from the market (at the manufacturer’s expense), or imprisonment. Q: Can I self-declare compliance with specific standards? Some regulations allow self-declaration of compliance with standards, while others require testing to be conducted by an independent third-party laboratory. In both cases, you are obligated to provide test data as evidence that the product meets the applicable requirements. Using a professional and independent third-party laboratory helps ensure the completeness of the test items and the reliability of the test data. Q: How should the CE mark be labeled? The CE mark must follow the specified proportions, with the height of the letters “CE” being at least 5mm, and it must be affixed directly on the product.If, due to the nature of the product, it is not possible to affix the CE mark on the product itself, it may instead be placed on the packaging.For products requiring the involvement of a European Notified Body—such as Class I medical devices—the CE mark must be accompanied by the Notified Body’s identification number (e.g., DNV (0434), TUV (0139)).

BSMI Certification / Battery Testing Certification / Knowledge Sharing Number Classification: – Commodity Inspection Code Link Query Link:  – Single Window for Customs and Trade Facilitation Verification Login【R-Code System】Before a product is released from the factory or imported, the manufacturer must submit the product type test report, declaration of conformity, designated relevant documents and technical files, ISO or factory inspection quality assurance certificates. Upon review and approval, a Verification Registration Certificate will be issued with a validity period of 3 years.Once certified, the manufacturer may release or import the product without applying for batch-by-batch inspection. Therefore, verification registration can replace batch inspection, avoiding repeated testing of the same product type, saving working days for each import or release, and reducing costs related to inspection application, sampling, and labeling of conformity marks. Type Approval【T-Code System】 Manufacturers are required to apply for inspection for each batch at the time of production or import, resulting in repeated testing of the same product type. This leads to significant costs for product inspection applications, sampling, and the labeling of conformity marks, as well as the working days needed to carry out batch-by-batch inspections each time.  Declaration of Conformity【D-Code System】 The manufacturer conducts the inspection independently based on the inspection standards and declares that the product complies with the standards. This inspection method allows the manufacturer to better control the product’s market release schedule and is mainly applicable to the inspection of information technology product components.

LVD stands for Low Voltage Directive. Under the requirements of LVD, electrical products must comply with specific standards to ensure user safety, such as protection against electric shock, fire, and mechanical hazards.The term “low voltage electrical products” refers to products designed to operate within a voltage range of 50V to 1,000V AC and 75V to 1,500V DC. Only when a product complies with this directive can it be legally sold in the market.
