Huawei Partners with TÜV Rheinland for Certification of SuperCharge Technology

BERLIN — September 5, 2017 – Huawei
Consumer Business Group today announced its cooperation with TÜV Rheinland, the global leader in independent inspection
services, to certify Huawei’s SuperCharge technology. The certification marks
the first time an end-to-end fast-charging technology has successfully
completed the rigorous tests set by TÜV Rheinland. The test looks at every
component, requiring adapters, IC circuits and charging cable materials to pass
safety, low temperature and thermal shock tests. In line with Huawei’s
continued mission to deliver the most innovative features on the market, the
certification by TÜV Rheinland demonstrates and underscores Huawei’s commitment
to delivering not only faster charging but more importantly safer charging.

“Over the
past 145 years, TÜV Rheinland has committed itself to ensuring that complex
devices and products meet rigorous safety standards that meet consumer
expectations,” said Kalyan Varma, VP of Business Field Electrical, Products,
Global of TÜV Rheinland. “With the growing demand for fast charging solutions,
we’re glad to work with Huawei to certify its SuperCharge technology using our
proven testing methods and battery expertise. In the drive for continued
innovation, we must always keep consumer safety at the forefront.”

“With each
of our products, we strive not only to deliver the features and performance
that consumers are looking for – but to go beyond where our competitors are in
terms of experience,” said Bruce Lee, Vice President of Handset Business at
Huawei Consumer Business Group. “By working with the storied experts at TÜV
Rheinland, we’re able to deliver a device that not only offers incredibly fast
charging but does so with a safety assurance that our competitors cannot match.”

HUAWEI’s
SuperCharge technology enables continuous “communication” between the device
and the charger. By monitoring every single point of the charging cycle, it is
able to intelligently auto-adjust voltage and current output to maximise
charging speed based on the capacity of the phone, adapter and cable. To keep
Huawei’s fast-charging phones cool, Huawei SuperCharge uses a 4.5V/5A
low-voltage charging solution.

In
addition, the connectors and charging jack on Huawei’s devices are programmed
to automatically suspend the supply of electricity if they come into contact
with water. This intelligent safeguard is in place to prevent short circuits
and device fires.
