6. GS: GS mark is a safety certification mark issued by TUV, VDE and other institutions authorized by the German Ministry of Labor. The GS mark is a safety mark accepted by the majority of European customers. Generally, GS-certified products are sold at a higher unit price and are more popular.
7. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission, United States Federal Communications Commission) established COMMUNICATIONACT in 1934 as an independent agency of the United States government, directly responsible to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites and cables. Involving more than 50 states in the United States, Colombia and the regions of the United States, in order to ensure the safety of radio and wire communication products related to life and property, the FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology is responsible for the technical support of the committee and also responsible for equipment Recognition matters. Many radio application products, communication products, and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market. The FCC committee investigates and studies the various stages of product safety to find the best way to solve the problem. At the same time, the FCC also includes the testing of radio devices and aircraft. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) — regulates the import and use of radio frequency devices, including computers, fax machines, electronic devices, radio receiving and transmission equipment, radio remote control toys, telephones, personal computers, and other products that may harm personal safety. If these products are to be exported to the United States, they must be tested and approved by a laboratory authorized by the government in accordance with FCC technical standards. Importers and customs agents have to declare that each radio frequency device complies with FCC standards, the FCC license.
8. CSA: is the abbreviation of Canadian Standards Association (Canadian Standards Association). It was established in 1919 and is Canada's first non-profit organization dedicated to the development of industrial standards. Products such as electronics and electrical appliances sold in the North American market need to obtain safety certifications. At present, CSA is the largest safety certification body in Canada and one of the most famous safety certification bodies in the world.

CSA has provided certification services for thousands of manufacturers all over the world, and hundreds of millions of products with the CSA mark are sold in the North American market every year.
9. DIN: Deutsches Institut fur Normung. DIN is the standardization authority in Germany and participates in international and regional non-governmental standardization organizations as a national standardization organization. DIN joined the International Organization for Standardization in 1951. The German Electrotechnical Commission (DKE), jointly formed by DIN and the German Institute of Electrical Engineers (VDE), represents Germany in the International Electrotechnical Commission. DIN is also the European Committee for Standardization and European Electrotechnical Standard.
10. BSI: British Standards Institution British Standards Institution (BSI) is the world's earliest national standardization organization. It is not controlled by the government but has strong support from the government. BSI formulates and revises British Standards and promotes their implementation.
11. EMC: With the development of electrical and electronic technology, household appliances have become increasingly popular and electronic, radio and television, post and telecommunications and computer networks have become increasingly developed, and the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex and deteriorated. This has made the electromagnetic compatibility of electrical and electronic products (EMC The problems of electromagnetic interference (EMI and electromagnetic anti-EMS) have also received increasing attention from governments and manufacturers. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronic and electrical products is a very important quality indicator, which is not only related to the working reliability and use safety of the product itself, but also may affect the normal operation of other equipment and systems. Protection of electromagnetic environment. The European Community government stipulates that from January 1, 1996, all electrical and electronic products must pass EMC certification and be affixed with the CE mark before they can be sold on the European Community market. This has caused widespread influence in the world, and governments of various countries have taken measures to implement mandatory management of the RMC performance of electrical and electronic products. Internationally influential ones, such as the European Union 89/336/EEC, etc.
12. PSE: It is the certification mark given by Japan JET (Japan Electrical Safety & Environment) for electronic and electrical products that comply with Japanese safety regulations. According to Japan's DENTORL Law (Electrical Device and Material Control Law), 498 products must pass safety certification to enter the Japanese market.
13. C/A-tick certification is a certification mark issued by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) for communication equipment. C-tick certification cycle: 1-2 weeks. Products perform ACAQ technical standard testing, register with ACA to use A/C-Tick, fill in the "Declaration of Conformity Form", and save it together with the product compliance record, and affix A/C on communication products or equipment -Tick mark label (label), sold to consumers A-Tick is only applicable to communication products, most of electronic products apply for C-Tick, but if electronic products apply for A-Tick, you do not need to apply for C-Tick separately. Since November 2001, Australia/New Zealand’s EMI has applied for a merger; if products are to be sold in these two countries, the following documents must be prepared before marketing in order to prepare for ACA (Australian Communications Authority) or New Zealand (Ministry of Economic Development) ) The authorities conduct random checks at any time. Australia's EMC system divides products into three levels. Suppliers must register with ACA and apply for the C-Tick mark before selling level two and level three products.
14. SAA certification. SAA certification is an Australian standards agency and is certified under the Standards Association of Australian, so many friends call the Australian certification SAA. SAA is a certification that electrical products entering the Australian market must comply with local safety regulations, that is, the industry often faces. Due to the mutual recognition agreement between Australia and New Zealand, all products certified by Australia can enter the New Zealand market smoothly. All electrical products have to do safety certification (SAA). There are two main types of SAA logos, one is formal approval and the other is standard logo. Formal certification is only responsible for samples, while standard marks are subject to factory inspections. At present, there are two ways to apply for SAA certification in China. One is to transfer the CB test report. If there is no CB test report, you can also apply directly. Under normal circumstances, the period for common products of IT AV lamps and small household appliances to apply for SAA certification in Australia is 3-4 weeks. If the product quality does not meet the standard, the date may be extended. When submitting the report to Australia for review, you need to provide the SAA certificate of the product plug (mainly for products with plugs), otherwise it will not be processed, the important components in the product SAA certificate, such as lamps need to provide the SAA certificate of the transformer in the lamp, otherwise Australia's audit data failed;
