Can you believe it? A small wearable device has to face more than 20 different certifications and regulations to enter the international market! This is a nightmare for Taiwanese sellers. Although wearable devices are the hot category for cross-border e-commerce in 2025, compliance issues have become the biggest stumbling block in the process of product development, listing applications and import/export trade.
I didn't realize that the regulations on wearable devices are so complicated, from electrical safety to radio frequency testing, from information security testing to banned substances, each of which may lead to the product being rejected from overseas markets. Luckily, Green Circle has compiled this valuable supplement for cross-border brands, allowing you to save up to $300,000 in regulatory consulting fees!
In terms of international electrical safety regulations, CB, BSMI, CE, NRTL and other electrical safety certifications are the basic requirements, while the Green Circle performance seal can enhance product competitiveness. The energy consumption requirements of different countries also vary, with North America referring to NRCan, DOE, and CEC, and Europe following the European Union's ErP regulations.
The biggest problem is that RF and radio frequency testing is often overlooked, and SAR/MPE human specific absorption rate verification, PTCRB/GCF carrier conformance verification, and various types of logo verification are all essential. If the product has the function of networking, it also needs to be tested for safety; products claiming to have medical effects need to pass the TFDA/FDA/MDR medical material safety test.
For smart textiles, ASTM D8248 - 20 and ISO/TR 23383:2000 provide important references, and the test items include stability, water resistance, electromagnetic compatibility and other aspects. In addition, CPSIA, AFIRM and other standards should not be ignored.
Restricted substance regulations such as RoHS, REACH, French EDCs, CP65 and TSCA have strict requirements for electronic products, and violators will face high fines and even litigation. Products using button cell batteries also need to comply with U.S. safety standards such as 16 CFR 1263/UL 4200A to prevent accidental ingestion by young children.
