When distributing or importing heated gear—especially heated gloves, heated vests, heated socks, or heated insoles—product certification is not just a “nice-to-have.”
It’s essential for legal market entry, customs clearance, and consumer safety.

SAVIOR HEAT provides full documentation and testing support to help partners expand globally.
Below is an overview of the three core certifications used across major markets: CE, FCC, and RoHS.

1. CE Certification (European Union)

The CE mark is mandatory for most electronic products sold within the EU.
For heated apparel, CE typically covers:

• Low Voltage Directive (LVD) — electrical safety

• EMC Directive — electromagnetic compatibility

• General Product Safety Directive

Why CE matters

Without CE, your product cannot be sold legally in the EU.
Shipments may be blocked, and retailers may refuse non-compliant items.

All Savior Heat heated gear is tested according to CE requirements, with full documentation available upon request.

2. FCC Certification (United States)

FCC certification is required for all electronic devices that emit radiofrequency energy, including heated gear powered by lithium batteries or control chips.

Key Points

• Required for selling in the United States

• Covers heated gloves, heated clothing, heated insoles

• Ensures devices do not interfere with communication equipment

• Requires correct labeling and documentation

SAVIOR HEAT products for the U.S. market are pre-tested for FCC Part 15 compliance.

3. RoHS Certification (EU & Global Markets)

RoHS restricts the use of harmful substances in electronic components.

Substances limited under RoHS include:

• Lead (Pb)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)

• PBDEs / PBBs (flame retardants)

Why RoHS matters for heated apparel

Even though heated gloves and apparel are wearable textiles, they contain:

• Heating wires

• Battery systems

• PCB boards

• Electronic controls

This makes RoHS essential for European markets, and increasingly required in the UK, Middle East, and South Korea.

All Savior Heat electronic components are fully RoHS compliant.

Additional Certifications Available

Depending on your region, other certifications may apply:

• UN38.3 — Mandatory for lithium battery air transport

• KC — Korea safety certification

• PSE — Japan electrical product standard

• SAA — Australia certification

• REACH — Textile chemical safety

• MSDS — Battery safety documentation

If you need additional compliance for your market, SAVIOR HEAT can support documentation, testing, or OEM customization.

Conclusion

Understanding certification requirements is crucial for importing, selling, and distributing heated apparel safely and legally.
CE, FCC, and RoHS form the baseline compliance for most global markets.

SAVIOR HEAT provides complete certification support so partners can ship smoothly and enter new markets with confidence.
