Importing Electrical Prodiucts - Labelling

Do you mean EN IEC 62368-1:2014+A11:2017? That says rated current or rated power: Annex F, clause F3.3.6. Hasn't changed in the 2020 version.

You need to have it retested and have UKCA certifications (affective from Jan 1 2023). You'll also need the UKCA mark for selling in the UK & CE mark for selling in Europe & a whole bunch of marks for selling 'across the pond'.

The joys (and safety) of selling electronic products and power suppliers!

Does the importer really have an obligation to retest? I thought that's only if you don't trust the original certification.

Thank you for this - it is the one.
We received pain and grief because they (Thurrock TS) claimed it had to be rated input power. We have input volts, output volts and output amps (which is, of course power!) And we also had power (watts) on the documentation!
Fortunately our local TS has accepted what we have as satisfactory - but there was considerable waste of time and a degree of pain and grief.

Would you trust a test certificate sent to you by a China supplier?

For UKCA certification, it has to be from an authorised body, of which there are currently no Chinese testing houses on the list. (No surprises there)

My advice for electrical products is to have them tested and certified in UK by an internationally recognised testing company.
