The importance of USB-IF product certification
A wide variety of devices now rely on USB Type-C for connection, communication and power. The industry needs the ability to distinguish compliant USB cables, devices or chargers from non-compliant ones.
UL Solutions is authorized by USB Implementers Forum Inc. (USB-IF) as an Independent Test Lab. UL Solutions, certified by USB Implementers Forum Inc. (USB-IF), can reassure you — whether you’re a brand owner, installer, retailer or end user — about the reliability of the data transmission rate, the cable and connector design, and the proper implementation of USB power delivery (PD).
With a view to address these concerns, we join the efforts of USB-IF to help ensure USB product compliance through the testing of USB Type-C cable assemblies, connectors, PD chipsets and power bricks for USB-IF certification.
Testing to USB-IF specification and IEC 62680
USB-IF has authorized our laboratory in Taiwan as an ITL with broad scope coverage. We can support testing to the following compliance specifications:
- USB 2.0
- USB 3.2
- USB 4®
- USB Type-C® and
- USB PD compliance specifications.
In addition to USB-IF product certification testing, UL Solutions’ Taiwan laboratory is accredited by International Electrotechnical Commission Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components (IECQ) to offer testing services to the IEC 62680 series of standards for universal serial bus interfaces for data and power.
Our laboratory in Dongguan has also been authorized as a USB-IF ITL to provide testing services to USB PD compliance specifications.
Quick turnaround from qualified USB-IF experts
You need your project turned around quickly, and you need it done in a cost-efficient manner. We understand that. That is why we strive to help meet your schedule and requirements.
To help overcome challenges in USB-IF related product development and production, we have the resources to provide problem analysis and technical advisory from certified test engineers and technical experts.
Comprehensive submission process for USB-IF and safety certification
Our safety certification programs for various high-speed data connectivity technologies may be done in addition to the USB-IF certification testing service to evaluate if the products in question meet the pertinent industry specifications. The launch of extended power range (EPR) in the USB PD specification allows USB Type-C ports to support up to 240W of power. This creates a higher safety concern that developers must address when developing products adopting the EPR feature.
