▍What is WERCSmart REGISTRATION?
WERCSmart is the abbreviation of World Environmental Regulatory Compliance Standard.
WERCSmart is a product registration database company developed by a US company called The Wercs. It aims to provide a supervision platform of product safety for supermarkets in US and Canada, and make product purchasing easier. In the processes of selling, transporting, storing and disposing products among retailers and registered recipients, products will face increasingly complicated challenges from federal, states or local regulation. Usually, the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) supplied along with the products do not cover adequate data of which information shows compliance with laws and regulations. While WERCSmart transforms the product data to that conforming to laws and regulations.

IEEE released IEC 1725-2021 Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Mobile Phones. CTIA Certifications Battery Compliance Scheme always regards IEEE 1725 as reference standard. After IEEE 1725-2021 released, CTIA establish a working group to discuss IEE 1725-2021 and form their own standard based on it. The working group listened suggestions from labs and manufacturers of batteries, mobile phones, devices, adapters, etc. and hold the first CRD draft discussion meeting. As CATL and a member of CTIA certifications battery scheme working group, MCM raise our advice and attend the meeting.
The meeting also answers the question that if batteries pass the test when samples fail after 10 minutes keeping in chamber of 130℃ to 150℃. The performance after 10 min test will not be considered as proof of evaluation, therefore they will pass only if they pass the 10 min test. Most of other safety testing standards have similar testing items, but there’s no explanation if the failure after testing period will influence. The CRD meeting gives us a reference.
