In high-demand application fields such as new energy, industrial automation, rail transit, and energy storage, the certification system of connectors is an important "pass" for products to enter the market and gain customer recognition. As an internationally renowned brand, Amphenol TPI connectors strictly adhere to various international certification standards in the design and production stages, and their products generally have authoritative certifications such as UL, CE, and ISO, and have obtained market access qualifications in many countries and regions.
As the technology of domestic connector continues to progress, more and more domestic manufacturers have also begun to pay attention to the construction of certification systems to meet the multi-dimensional requirements of quality, safety, and compliance in both domestic and international markets. So, what certifications can domestic connectors pass? Can they "benchmark" with international brands like Amphenol TPI?
One, UL Certification: The "Key to Entering the North American Market"UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification is a mandatory safety certification for electronic and electrical products in North America, particularly widely used in the fields of new energy vehicle charging equipment, energy storage systems, and industrial electrical engineering.
●The Amphenol TPI high-voltage connector series meets the standards requirements of UL 2238, UL 1977, and others from the design stage, with features such as high voltage, large current, vibration resistance, and flame retardancy.
Some domestic high-performance connector manufacturers have also started to apply for UL certification in recent years, focusing on battery pack connectors, high-voltage cable connectors, and board-to-board high-speed series. Some models have obtained UL File certification numbers and can be directly applied to equipment exported to North America.
CE certification: Basic requirement for entering the EU marketCE (Conformité Européenne) certification is a mark that products must have to enter the European Union market, representing that the products meet the requirements of the European Union regarding safety, health, environmental protection, and consumer protection.
●The Amphenol TPI connector generally meets the CE low voltage directive and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) directive requirements in industrial, energy storage, and power infrastructure projects, ensuring normal circulation in the European market.
●The domestic connectors have also made significant progress in this aspect. The mainstream energy storage and charging interface products can now provide CE certification certificates, meet the export and domestic compliance requirements, and lay a market access foundation for the domestic substitution.
ISO system certification: Global standards for quality and managementISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) are basic management standards for connector manufacturing enterprises.
●All production systems of Amphenol TPI have passed quality system certifications such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949 in the automotive industry, ensuring the stability and traceability of its products in all stages of research and development, production, inspection, and delivery.
● Domestic connector companies have actively promoted the construction of ISO and IATF systems in recent years. Some leading manufacturers have reached the same quality management level as international brands and integrated the certification results into all aspects of product delivery, customer audits, and third-party inspections.
Four, other certification supplements: meet the needs of the niche marketIn addition to UL, CE, and ISO, some special industries also involve:
●TÜV certification (Germany): Used for electrical safety and performance testing, some domestically produced high-voltage connectors have obtained certification.
●RoHS / REACH environmental certification: Domestic manufacturers have generally completed it, meeting the EU's restrictions on harmful substances.
●CCC Certification: Compulsory certification for the Chinese market, domestic manufacturers have a relative advantage.
With the continuous improvement of domestic connectors in terms of materials, technology, and design, more and more enterprises can simultaneously pass the above multiple certifications, having dual access qualifications for export and large domestic projects.
From international brands like Amphenol TPI to the emerging domestic connector manufacturers, the perfection of the certification system directly determines the market competitiveness and industry recognition of the products. Now, many domestic brands no longer remain at the low-end general product stage, but have achieved international standards in fields such as high-voltage energy storage and automotive connectors. Whether it is UL, CE, ISO, or more detailed certifications, the "tickets" for domestic connectors are increasing and becoming more stringent.
