Preface

This Radio Standards Specification RSS-216, Issue 2, Wireless Power Transfer Devices, replaces RSS-216 Issue 1, Wireless Power Transfer Devices (Wireless Chargers), published in September 2014. RSS-216 sets out the minimum requirements for wireless power transfer devices.

A transition period of six months is provided, within which compliance with eitherRSS-216 Issue 1 or with RSS-216 Issue 2 is accepted. The transition period will end on the last day of June 2016, after which date only compliance with RSS-216 Issue 2 will be accepted.

List of Changes:

1.The title of the standard has been changed from RSS-216 Wireless Power Transfer Devices (Wireless Chargers) to RSS-216 Wireless Power Transfer Devices;

2.The content of this standard has been significantly modified. A list of key changes is provided below:

※ The scope of RSS-216 was updated to cover all types of wireless power transfer devices (although, for some types, an inquiry has to be submitted before applying RSS-216).

※ Issue 2 differentiates between three types of devices based on their classification as radio apparatus (of Category I or II) or interference-causing equipment, specifically Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment (see Note).

※ Added test methods and arrangements of the equipment under test, specific to wireless power transfer devices.

NOTE: The Department feels that the benefits and convenience of having all wireless power transfer devices under one standard (instead of one ICES, one RSS-200 series and one RSS-300 series) outweigh this exception from the normal standard numbering system.
