Qi certification service in Taiwan

TÜV Rheinland announced the launch of a new independent compliance testing lab in Taiwan to meet the growing demand for Qi certification.

TÜV Rheinland is now part of the ecosystem of services that is evolving around the Qi standard. This ecosystem consists of component suppliers, engineering services, manufacturing services, and now also test- and certification services.

It makes business sense to invest in open standards!

The Qi product pipeline

Each Qi wireless charging product is tested by an independent test lab before it can be launched. The test lab issues a 'compliance certificate' when the product is found to be compatible with the Qi specification.

The certificate is issued before a product is announced. That means you can see the pipeline of Qi product announcements by looking at the number of issued certificates.

'Rx' means 'receiver'. These are phones, battery packs and other products that receive power.

'Tx' means 'wireless charging station'.
