Certification IntroductionNatural Resources Canada (NRCan) is Canada's government agency that oversees and enforces energy efficiency regulations - regulations that require minimum energy performance levels for various energy-consuming products, label energy-intensive products, and collect energy usage data. All regulated products imported into Canada for sale or lease or transshipment from a manufacturing province to another region (inter-provincial shipping) should meet the requirements of the energy efficiency standards set forth in the Energy Efficiency Regulations. As a result, Natural Resources Canada mandates that all regulated products must obtain the Energy Verification Mark from a Standards Council of Canada (SCC) accredited certification body.Applicable product scopeWashing machines, clothes dryers, dry cleaning machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, ice machines, air conditioners, three-phase induction motors, lamps, TV sets, power supplies, gas water heaters, oil water heaters, gas heaters, gas fireplaces, etc. Battery charging products entering the Canadian market after June 13, 2019 must meet Canada's mandatory NRCan certification and online submission. At the same time, the subsequent certification body will conduct an annual market sampling inspection, and the sampling ratio is about 1% Basic model. Enhanced the requirements and control scope of the "minimum energy efficiency standards" for the following 7 types of products: electric motors; domestic gas boilers; domestic kerosene boilers; dry-type transformers; large air conditioning facilities and heat pumps; commercial integrated refrigerators; New requirements for minimum energy efficiency standards and reporting items for the following products are proposed: Standby energy consumption of electronic products - Audio products - TVs, monitors, etc. - Video playback products External power supply Digital TV adapters Electric boilers Single stereo air conditioners and heat pumps Mandatory Directives for Manufacturers and Importers:All manufacturers and importers must follow the directive to ensure that the products they manufacture and import meet the minimum energy efficiency standards for products required by the directive. Manufacturers and importers should be tested by an accredited third-party certification body to obtain compliance performance reports and certificates.

Certification IntroductionFDA (Food and Drug Administration) certification is a certificate of conformity for food or drugs issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Due to its scientific nature and rigor, this certification has become a world-recognized standard. FDA-approved drugs can be sold not only in the United States, but also in most countries and regions in the world. FDA is the English abbreviation of US Food and Drug Administration. It is an international medical review authority, authorized by the US Congress, the federal government, and the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug management.The FDA is a monitoring agency of government health regulation composed of professionals such as doctors, lawyers, microbiologists, pharmacologists, chemists, and statisticians dedicated to protecting, promoting, and enhancing the nation's health. Foods, drugs, cosmetics and medical devices certified by the FDA are safe and effective for the human body. In nearly 100 countries such as the United States, only FDA-approved materials, devices and technologies can be used for commercial clinical applications.FDA classification1. FDA testing of food materialsPlastics, resins, rubbers, silicones, metals, alloys, electroplating, paper, cardboard, glass, ceramics, enamels, colorants, printing coatings, inks, etc.Food contact materials and products may affect the smell, taste and color of food during contact with food, and may release a certain amount of toxic chemical components such as heavy metals and toxic additives. Ingested by the human body, endangering human health.2. Food FDA testing 3. Medical device FDA testing 4. Cosmetics FDA testing 5. Drugs and biological products FDA testing application process1. Consultation---The applicant provides product information pictures or describes the products and materials that need to be applied for FDA through description. 2. Quotation---According to the information provided by the applicant, the technical engineer will make an evaluation to determine the items to be tested, 3. After the applicant confirms the quotation, fill in the test application form and test samples 4. Sample testing - the test will be carried out in accordance with the applicable FDA standards 5. After the test is completed, the FDA certification report will be providedAbout FDA certificateFDA registration actually adopts the good faith declaration model, that is: you are responsible for your products complying with relevant standards and safety requirements, and register on the US federal website.Does FDA registration have a certificate: In fact, all actions of FDA registration are done online, and there is no certificate. So what is the FDA certificate circulating on the market? In fact, it is a declarative document issued by the agency itself, proving that the product has been registered with the FDA.The difference between FDA certification, FDA testing and FDA registrationIt can be understood in this way that FDA testing generally targets these types of products: 1. Class II and III medical devices; 2. Cosmetics, daily necessities; 3. Food contact materials;FDA registration is generally divided into: 1. Cosmetics 2. LED and laser products 3. Medical devices 4. Food 5. DrugsFDA certification is a general term for FDA testing and FDA registration, both of which can be called FDA certification, and FDA certification is just a colloquial term.otherWhich agency issued the FDA certificate?There is no certificate for FDA registration. After the product is registered with the FDA, a registration number will be obtained. The FDA will give the applicant a confirmation letter (with the signature of the FDA chief executive), but there is no FDA certificate.Does the FDA require a designated accredited laboratory for testing?FDA is an enforcement agency, not a service agency. If someone says they are certified laboratories under the FDA, then he is at least misleading consumers, because the FDA has neither public service certification agencies and laboratories, nor so-called "designated laboratories". The FDA, as a federal law enforcement agency, cannot do this kind of thing as both a referee and an athlete. FDA will only recognize the GMP quality of service testing laboratories, and issue certificates of conformity to those who are qualified, but will not "designate" or recommend a specific one or a few to the public.Does FDA registration necessarily require a U.S. agent?Yes, Chinese applicants must designate a U.S. citizen (company/society) as their agent during FDA registration, who is responsible for process services located in the United States and is the medium between FDA and the applicant.
