Certification Introduction

The core mandatory access requirement for electronic and electrical products to enter the Singaporean market is PSB Safety Registration Certification, administered by Enterprise Singapore. It is a safety control system based on regulatory requirements, mainly covering electronic and electrical products for household and similar uses, including common categories such as refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, kitchen appliances and etc. Industrial and medical electronic and electrical products are usually not regulated under this system, and shall comply with corresponding special regulations. Products with wireless and telecommunication functions need to complete additional IMDA registration, and energy-sensitive household appliances must meet energy labeling requirements.

Laws and Regulations

The core regulation is Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations. Telecommunication terminal and wireless products comply with the telecommunication equipment control regulations issued by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore, and the energy efficiency requirements for household appliances follow the relevant provisions of Singapore's Energy Labeling Scheme. Enterprises shall confirm in advance through the official channels of Enterprise Singapore whether their products are included in the mandatory control list.

Technical Requirements

Safety testing is based on Singapore national standards converted from corresponding IEC international standards. Common requirements include: SS 638 Series: Safety of household and similar electrical appliances IEC 60950-1: Safety of information technology equipment IEC 60598-1: Safety of luminaires Test items cover electrical safety, mechanical safety, fire resistance and flame retardancy, temperature rise control and etc. All electronic and electrical products must meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements and complete emission and immunity testing; wireless products need additional compliance testing of radio frequency parameters and spectrum; household appliances need to complete energy efficiency testing and meet energy efficiency limit requirements. Testing must be conducted by laboratories accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC), and holders of valid CB test certificates can apply for exemption from some test items.

Certification Process

Confirm the product's regulatory attribute, organize product technical documents, circuit diagrams, product manuals and other materials;

Send samples to an accredited laboratory to complete the required test items and obtain a qualified test report;

Select the conformity route: you can register directly with an accredited test report, or apply for conversion with a valid CB report;

Submit the registration application through Singapore's official online enterprise licensing platform, and a locally registered entity in Singapore must be designated to assume market compliance responsibility;

After approval, obtain the official registration number, and affix the compliance mark on the product body or packaging as required.
