Exciting news from China! On May 30th, 2023, the nation introduced the groundbreaking “Provisional Regulations on Radio Management of Wireless Charging (Power Transmission) Equipment.” Here’s a summarized glimpse into what these regulations entail:
Defining Wireless Charging: Step into the world of wireless charging, where devices harness magnetic coupling mechanisms to transmit power in the non-beam near-field realm.
Scope of Application:
- Mobile and Portable Devices: Operating within specified frequency bands (100 – 148.5kHz, 6765 – 6795kHz, 13553 – 13567kHz) and rated transmission power not exceeding 80W.
- Electric Vehicle Charging: Including motorcycles, operating at frequencies ranging from 19 to 21kHz and 79 to 90kHz, with rated transmission powers up to 120kW.
SRRC Approval Exemption: Good news for manufacturers! Wireless charging equipment produced or imported for sale and use in China is exempt from SRRC approval, provided it complies with the technical parameters outlined in the regulations. This includes adherence to operating frequencies, application scenarios, and rigorous quality, electromagnetic radiation, and electrical safety standards mandated by national regulations and standards.
Transparency and Compliance: Manufacturers are tasked with clearly delineating product information, technical requirements, and usage guidelines in product instructions, including electronic displays. Additionally, the conspicuous display of dedicated identification for wireless charging devices, in electronic format, is required.
Implementation Timeline: Mark your calendars for September 1, 2024! This is when the regulations will officially come into effect, ushering in a new era of wireless charging management in China.
For a detailed dive into the requirements, refer to the attached regulation (available in Chinese only).
Anticipated Impact:
Type Approval Impacted? Wireless charging devices within specified limits enjoy exemption from SRRC approval.
Spectrum Impacted? No immediate impact on spectrum allocation.
Imports Impacted? No significant changes in import procedures.
Standards: No new standards introduced, but strict adherence to existing regulations is required.
Product Impacted? Wireless charging devices undergo regulation and oversight to ensure compliance with established parameters.
