Mean Well is known globally for its commitment to quality and safety, a reputation it’s built over decades. This ensures that their power supplies can be sold and used legally and safely in almost any country.

Here’s a breakdown of Mean Well’s quality and certification approach:

1. International Safety and Performance Certifications
Mean Well invests heavily in getting its products certified by the most important international safety organizations. When you see a Mean Well product, its datasheet will list a variety of certifications, which might include:

UL (Underwriters Laboratories): The most common safety standard in the United States and Canada, covering fire and electric shock hazards.

TÜV: A German-based organization that provides rigorous product safety and quality certifications, widely recognized in Europe and globally.

CE (Conformité Européenne): A self-declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets European Union safety, health, and environmental standards.

CB Scheme: An international system that facilitates the acceptance of electrical and electronic product safety test results between participating countries.

CCC (China Compulsory Certification): A mandatory safety mark for many products sold and used in China.

RCM: A certification mark indicating a product’s compliance with Australian and New Zealand electrical safety and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards.

BIS: A certification for products sold in India.

By obtaining these certifications, Mean Well saves its customers significant time and cost, as the end product (like an LED fixture or a piece of equipment) already uses a pre-certified power supply, simplifying the final product’s approval process.
