​Certification Standards for Power Banks in Various Countries

A power bank is composed of batteries or battery packs, corresponding circuits, and casing, capable of providing stable DC output as a non-fixed power source system, weighing no more than 18kg and intended for user-carry.

Commonly known as a charging treasure, a power bank is a portable charger that integrates power supply and charging functions, capable of charging digital devices such as smartphones and tablets anytime and anywhere. However, power banks are prone to smoking or catching fire due to internal short circuits of lithium batteries when subjected to collisions, compression, high temperatures, and other situations.

To ensure the quality and safety of power banks, they need to undergo testing and certification by authoritative third-party inspection agencies before entering the market.
