How to get the Singapore PSB Certificate?

What is the Singapore PSB Certificate?

The Singapore PSB Certificate is a certification mark issued by the Product Safety Authority of Singapore, designed to ensure that products comply with Singapore’s safety standards and regulatory requirements. The PSB Certificate is based on international standards and the requirements of standardization organizations, integrating market demand, technological development, and management concepts to form a systematic certification framework. This framework includes product testing, system assessment, and certificate issuance, ensuring that products and services meet the relevant standards. The PSB Certificate is a mandatory safety certification in Singapore, required for listed electrical products before they can be sold in the Singapore market.
