Understanding The SAFETY Mark Certification In Singapore

In accordance to the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations (CPSR), 33 different categories of household products are required to be registered with Enterprise Singapore.

These 33 different categories of household products are designated as "Controlled Goods", and it's compulsory that they are rigorously tested to the safety standards in Singapore. These safety tests include:

1. Fire
2. Electric Shock
3. Explosion
4. Radiation
5. Other hazards that could potentially harm you or your family
6. Other hazards that could potentially damage your property 

Upon successful registration of the household products, along with passing the rigorously safety tests, an unique 8-digit registration number will be issued. This 8 digit number traceable to the registrant and the registered models.
