In recent years, with the popularity of the concept of healthy eating, air boiler as a low-oil, low-fat cooking tool has become increasingly popular among global consumers. Especially in regions such as Europe and North America, the market demand for air boiler has continued to grow, driving its export volume and amount to increase significantly. However, in order to successfully enter these overseas markets, air boiler manufacturers must ensure that their products meet compliance certification requirements in relevant countries and regions. This article will detail the common certification needed for air boiler exports to major international markets to help relevant enterprises expand international business smoothly.

A. American certification

Certification by FCC

The FCC(Federal Communications Commission, U.S. Federal Communications Commission) certification is mandatory certification in the U.S. market, mainly for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing of products.The FCC SDoCSupplier’s Declaration of Conformity certification This certification requires manufacturers or importers to carry out relevant tests on their products and retain test reports, and the FCC has the right to request the submission of equipment samples and product testing data.

Materials Required for FCC SDoC Certification：

1. Application Form
2. English instructions
3. Product circuit map
4. The samples

attention toIf the air boiler has wireless functionality, such as Wi-Fi connection or Bluetooth control, it is necessary to do so.The FCC IDCertification, which belongs to mandatory certification, requires more stringent.

c) UL certification

UL certification(Underwriters Laboratories) although voluntary, has a high degree of recognition in the U.S. market, especially in the field of electrical and electronic products. UL certification not only requires safety testing of products, but also includes factory audits, audits strictly and frequently (once a quarter).by UL 1026The standard applies to electrothermal cooking equipment.

Materials required for application UL certification：

1. Application Form
2. English instructions
3. Product circuit map
4. The samples

Requirements for Amazon Sales:In recent years, the Amazon platform has had increasing safety requirements for products, and electric products (such as air boilers) need to be delivered when on the Amazon shelves.by UL 1026The standard test report must be issued by a laboratory with ISO 17025 certification.In addition, in order to ensure food safety, it is recommended to handleFDA Food TestingandCalifornia 65 Environmental Tests。

The European Certification

a) CE certification

CE certificationAll electrical and electronic products sold in the EU must meet the requirements of the CE marking, indicating that the product complies with the EU health, safety and environmental protection legislation. Air boiler application for CE certification usually requires compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC Directive), the Low Voltage Directive (LVD Directive) and other relevant EU directives.

Materials required for application for CE certification:

1. Application Form
2. English instructions
3. Product circuit map
4. List of key components
5. Wireless Module Specification Book (if available)
6. 2 to 3 samples.

RoHS certification

RoHS certification(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a mandatory EU standard designed to restrict the use of certain harmful substances in electronic electrical equipment, mainly involving 10 substances such as lead, magnesium, magnesium, six-value magnesium, PBB and PBDE. Air boilers must comply with RoHS directive when exported to the EU to ensure that products do not contain or only contain very small amounts of harmful substances.

Materials required to apply for RoHS certification:

1. The Application
2. The samples

German GS certification

GS certification(Geprüfte Sicherheit, Safety Certified) is a German safety certification mark, based on the German Product Safety Law and the EU standard (EN standard). Although the GS certification is voluntary, it has a very high level of consumer trust and recognition in Europe, especially in the German market. Compared to the CE mark, the GS mark can provide a higher level of security assurance.

Materials required to apply for GS certification:

1. Application Form
2. Signing the General Agreement
3. List of parts (including all parts models, manufacturers, parts numbers and parameters)
4. Food hygiene certificate for parts in contact with food
5. The German version.
6. Product circuit map
7. Line diagram (mark the actual size)
8. German description
9. 2 to 4 samples
10. Explosion/decomposition map (if necessary)

UK UKCA Certification

UKCA certification(UK Conformity Assessed) is a qualifying mark that replaces the CE mark after Brexit and is available in the markets of England, Wales and Scotland. Air boilers for sale in the UK market require UKCA certification. UKCA certification requirements are similar to CE certification, but must comply with relevant UK regulations.

Materials required for application for UKCA certification:

1. Application form (including product name, model, manufacturer/applicant address)
2. Product model and detailed technical parameters
3. Detailed pictures of components and overall structure
4. Electrical Principle Map
5. Mechanical Assembly Charts and Key Parts Drawings
6. Signs (including the UKCA symbol)
7. Product Use Instructions (English version)
8. List of parts

Japanese PSE certification

certified by PSE(Product Safety Electrical Appliance & Material) is a mandatory certification for the Japanese market for electrical appliances sold in Japan, covering product safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Required materials for application for PSE certification:

1. The Application
2. Copies of business licenses of applicants, manufacturers and manufacturing plants
3. Factory Inspection Survey Forms (When Applying for Specific Electrical Equipment)
4. Description of product
5. Differences between different models of products
6. List of key components or primary raw materials
7. Product size chart, overall layout chart and size chart of various parts
8. Certificate of authorization issued by the manufacturer (if applicable)
9. Other necessary documents

Conclusion

Although the export market for air boiler is broad, the markets have different requirements for product safety, environmental protection and compliance. When enterprises expand overseas markets, they must ensure that their products meet the certification requirements of the target market. This not only helps to improve the competitiveness of the product market, but also effectively avoids compliance risks. By understanding in advance and obtaining the necessary certification, air boiler manufacturers can enter the global market more smoothly, gain the trust and favour of consumers.
