Frequently asked questions
Does a rechargeable portable fan need battery compliance review?
Yes. A built-in or supplied rechargeable battery can create battery-specific obligations in addition to the finished-product requirements.
Do blade guards matter for compliance?
Yes. Access to moving parts and foreseeable use are important safety considerations for portable fans.
What changes if the fan has app control?
Intentional radio functionality can introduce the Radio Equipment Directive in addition to the electrical, battery and material requirements.
