Process

How Certification Support Works

For OEM/ODM power supply projects, certification planning should begin before sample confirmation to avoid delays during end-device approval.

01

Confirm Requirements

Share output voltage, current, power rating, adapter format, target market and application type.

02

Select Suitable Model

Review whether an existing certified model or a custom configuration is the best fit.

03

Review Documentation

Confirm datasheets, labels, certificates and test documentation required by your project.

04

Prototype & Validate

Verify connector, cable, label, mechanical fit, performance and end-device integration.

05

Testing & Approval

Support third-party testing or end-device approval requirements depending on project scope.

06

Production Control

Maintain consistent label, packaging, QC and batch documentation for approved production.
