Compliance
CE, FCC, RoHS, UN38.3 and MSDS for Rechargeable Lights
Understand what common product, electromagnetic, substance and lithium-battery documents are used for.
DIRECT ANSWER
CE, FCC and RoHS relate to different product-market requirements, while UN38.3 and MSDS support lithium-battery transport and handling. Document applicability must be confirmed for the exact light, battery, charger and destination market.
What each document supports
Buyers should not treat a certification logo as proof that every configuration is covered. Request the report or declaration, model scope, laboratory or issuer, applicable standard and battery reference.
- CE: European conformity framework for applicable requirements
- FCC: electromagnetic requirements for the United States where applicable
- RoHS: restricted-substance information
- UN38.3: lithium battery transport test summary/report support
- MSDS/SDS: material and handling safety information
The correct purchasing workflow
Confirm the target market and final configuration before approving packaging claims. A battery, charger or function change can affect the relevant document set.
