Certification Standards for Power Banks in Different Countries

A power bank (also known as a portable charger) is made up of a battery or battery pack, corresponding circuits, and an outer shell. It is a non-fixed power system capable of providing stable DC output, and it is portable with a weight not exceeding 18kg. Power banks are commonly referred to as "charging treasures" and are portable devices that integrate power supply and charging functions. They allow users to charge mobile phones, tablets, and other digital devices anytime and anywhere. However, power banks are prone to issues such as smoke or fire caused by internal short circuits in lithium batteries when subjected to impacts, pressure, high temperatures, or other extreme conditions. To ensure the safety and quality of power banks, they must undergo testing and certification by authoritative third-party organizations before being sold in the market.
