2023 年 9 月 1 日，ANATEL 發佈了新的第 13011 號法案 (2023)。 這項新法案推遲了 5159 法案的生效日期，為充電器製造商提供了更多時間來滿足 5159 法案的要求。

在 2024 年 4 月 14 日之前，充電器製造商將可以選擇通過第 3481/2019 號法案 (舊法案) 或第 5159/2022 號法案 (新法案) 批准其充電器。

On September 1st, 2023 ANATEL released the new Act 13011 (2023). This new act postponed the date for Act 5159 to become in force, giving more time for charger’s manufacturers to meet the Act 5159 requirements.

Until April 14^th, 2024 charger manufacturers will be able to choose approving their charger by the Act 3481/2019 (Old Act) or by the Act 5159/2022 (New Act).

[法規草案] 2023 年 9 月 6 日，國家電信局 (ANATEL) 就擬更新手機充電器合格評定相關技術要求和測試程序的法律草案公開徵求意見。 此技術要求適用於下列手機充電器:

• 供電為交流電源的攜帶型充電器(例如住宅充電器);
• 電源為直流電源的攜帶型充電器(例如車載充電器);
• 感應式充電器，無論電源類型如何(交流電或直流電);和
• USB端口(埠)用於為電子設備供電的特定用途，無資料傳輸功能，無論電源類型如何。

目前正在就該草案進行公眾諮詢，並將於 2023 年 11 月 14 日結束。更多資訊可在此處找到。

On 6 September 2023, the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) opened a public consultation on a draft law proposing to update the technical requirements and test procedures relating to the conformity assessment of mobile phone chargers.

The proposed technical requirements shall apply to the following mobile phone chargers:

• portable chargers whose electrical supply is the alternating current electrical power network (e.g. residential charger);
• portable chargers whose electrical supply is a direct current source (e.g. vehicle charger);
• inductive chargers, regardless of the type of electrical power source (alternating current or direct current); and
• USB interfaces (ports) for specific purposes for powering electronic devices, without data transmission functionality, regardless of the type of electrical power source.

According to Article 5, unless otherwise specified, chargers for cell phones must be tested coupled to a cell phone during the assessment of the product’s electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety requirements. The charger manufacturer must provide a cell phone with its battery initially discharged to carry out the tests.

According to the opening provisions, this draft proposes to repeal both Act No. 5159 of 2022 and Act No. 3481 of 2019 which both concern technical requirements for mobile phone chargers.

It is proposed that this draft will enter into force upon publication. However, the Annex containing the requirements would come into force on 18 April 2024. A public consultation is currently open on this draft and will end on 14 November 2023. Further information on this may be found here.

EESS近日發佈使用客戶測試設施 (CTF)的IECEE CB測試報告其適用性指引，明確CTF3和CTF4不被接受。
This general guidance document is to provide information on suitability of IECEE CB test reports, particularly when testing in customer testing facilities (CTF) is used by the CB Test laboratory.

The Equipment Safety rules (ESR) section 10.3 provides information on IEC EE CB test reports being accepted for use for certification in the EESS. However, it does not specifically list the acceptance requirements for reports in relation to the IEC EE customer testing facility (CTF) options being adopted in the IEC EE Scheme.
The ESR will be proposed to be amended to add the required clarity for completeness. In the interim the following is applied for IEC EE CB test reports (in alignment with proposed amendment to ESR):

IECEE CB Scheme Testing Laboratories (CBTLs) accepted under the CB Scheme of the IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE). A CB Test Report is required to be accompanied by CB Test Certificate issued by the appropriate National Certification Body (NCB) for all situations. Test Reports are required to be related to:

1. Full testing performed withing the IECEE CB test facility.
2. Full testing carried out by CBTL staff or qualified Local Technical Representative (LTR) at Customers’

Testing Facility (CFT Stage 1)

iii. Witnessing 100 per cent of each test program by CBTL/NCB qualified staff or a qualified LTR at Customer Testing Facility (CFT Stage 2)

Note: CFT stages 3 or 4 are not accepted

Note: where any hybrid testing of i., ii., or iii. occur the test report shall clearly indicate which type of testing was caried out for each test/assessment.

Note: This guidance document will be reviewed when the ESR amendment is finalised.

EESS發佈8月號公告提出對需要進行抗紫外線測試的標籤測試及替代測試解決方案。

Alternate Solution Standard – test for labels that are required to have UV resistance test

General

Various standards apply a carbon arc test for labels that are required to have UV resistance. Newer technology for UV resistance of labels now includes xenon arc testing. Various standards are updating test criteria to the xenon arc test and it provides equivalent outcomes.

This information bulletin is to enable use of xenon arc test in lieu of carbon arc test whenever carbon arc test is stipulated.
Requirement

For labels that are required to have UV resistance, testing method using xenon arc may be applied as an alternate to Carbon Arc testing. The test for xenon arc is as follows:

Markings on external parts of equipment intended for outdoor use shall remain legible after being exposed to solar radiation.

This requirement does not apply to markings that are moulded in, engraved, laser engraved, or stamped and, either, raised above or have a depth below the surface of at least 0.25 mm.

Conformance is determined by the IEC 60068-2-5 procedure Sb 1, using a xenon-arc lamp as the radiation source.

The test conditions shall be as specified in Table 5 of IEC 60068-2-5. Both the narrowband, 400 irradiance level and the black panel temperature shall be controlled.

The test shall be in cycles for a total duration of 515 h.

• Annex 2 provides the declaration of conformity of the machinery;
• Annex 3 sets out the requirements of the mark of conformity;
• Annex 4 lists the categories of machinery to which the conformity assessment referred to in Articles 14 and 15 apply;
• Annex 5 provides the indicative list of safety components;
• Annex 6 specifies the instructions for the assembly of unfinished machinery;
• Annex 7 describes the procedure for compiling technical documentation of machinery;
• Annex 8 covers the procedure for assessing conformity with internal production control;
• Annex 9 covers the procedure for type-verification of the machinery;
• Annex 10 covers the procedure for full quality assurance;
• Annex 11 outlines the minimum criteria for assessing the conformity of the machinery;
• Annex 12 contains the correspondence table of the provisions of Directive 2006/42/EC to this Resolution.
