Introduction to PSB certification in Singapore
PSB certification is a mandatory safety certification in Singapore, but there is no requirement for the electromagnetic compatibility part. The PSB safety mark certificate is issued by the Singapore Product Standards Bureau. Singapore Consumer Protection (Safety Specifications) Registration Plan requires that electrical products be listed for compulsory application for PSB certification. Before the product enters Singapore, a company with taxation in Singapore must be a company licensed to apply for PSB certification. Products can only be sold in Singapore after obtaining the PSB certification certificate.
