Regulatory bodies and governments have set guidelines to ensure wireless charging is safe, and meeting safety regulations is a critical part of bringing your product to market.
Planning for regulatory compliance should be a core part of your entire product development process. When thinking about regulatory compliance, you must consider:
Safety to Living Things
Regional authorities (like FCC in the United States) set limits on electromagnetic fields and how they interact with the human body. All wireless products must meet these safety standards and regulatory standards to receive authorization to be sold.
Safety to Objects
Wirelessly-charged products must also meet regulations for their interaction with objects. For instance, a charger cannot heat up metal objects like keys or coins, and they can’t interfere with other components of the electronics ecosystem.
