FAQ — Switches and socket-outlets
1. Can one licence cover an entire modular plate family?
Only within rules that recognise similarity. Mechanisms with different ratings usually need careful scoping.
2. USB socket outlets — extra standards?
USB power circuitry can pull in additional safety expectations. Flag USB ports at kickoff.
3. Import from China common issues?
Wrong standard claimed on carton, missing FMCS, and model codes that do not match reports.
4. Inspection readiness tip?
Calibrated instruments and in-house routine tests must be real — not paperwork props.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
