Certification Introduction
The CGSR system, corresponding to the regulations is the Consumer Protection (Consumer Goods Safety Requirements) Regulations 2011, the Singapore government in order to strengthen consumer goods safety control, since In order to strengthen the safety control of consumer goods, the Singapore government has made the system mandatory since April 1, 2011.
CGSR system and the CPS system, are controlled by the Singapore Standards Development and Reform Committee (SPRING) safety certification system, but generally we are more concerned about the CPS system under the CoC certification, it is very easy to ignore the CGSR system. In fact, the CGSR system is a supplement to the CPS system, but also mandatory. For mandatory electrical and electronic products not under the CPS system, the vast majority will fall under the mandatory scope of the CGSR system (refer to the specific product range below).CGSR is a system without certification requirements, according to the CGSR program requirements, any manufacturer, importer, distributor and retailer must obtain the appropriate test report.
The biggest difference between the two systems is that the CPS system focuses on the pre-market control of the product, which requires a CoC certificate based on the test report that meets the requirements, registration on the SPRINGwebsite, and the S-MARK mark on the product before it can enter the Singapore market. In contrast, because CGSR has no certification requirements, the product can be free customs clearance, so more emphasis is placed on the post-market (post-market) safety supervision after entering the market.
For consumer products that are within the mandatory scope of the CGSR but do not have a compliant test report, a fine of up to $2,000 or imprisonment for up to 12 months will be imposed for the first violation, and a fine of up to $10,000
or imprisonment for up to 2 years will be imposed for subsequent or repeated violations.
