How to verify a wireless charger is really Qi certified
The Qi logo on a box proves nothing. The WPC database does. Here is the three-minute check to run before you place an order.
Many uncertified chargers carry the Qi logo. For a buyer, that is a real risk: uncertified products can overheat, charge slowly, and get pulled from marketplaces. The good news is that certification is easy to check.
The three-minute check
- Ask the supplier for the Qi Certificate of Registration for the exact model.
- The certificate lists a URL. Open it: it should lead to the product's page in the Wireless Power Consortium database.
- Check that the brand name, product name and type number on that page match the product you are buying.
- You can also search the database directly at wirelesspowerconsortium.com/products by brand or type number.
Red flags
- "Qi compatible", "Qi compliant" or "works with Qi" — wording that usually means the product was never tested.
- A certificate for a different model "in the same series".
- A Qi logo with no registration number anywhere.
- "Qi2 25W" on a product whose database entry says Qi2 at 15W.
What a supplier should hand you
A serious manufacturer sends the certificate, the database link and test reports without being chased. We are a WPC member, our Qi2.2 models are registered under QHD 10136, and you can see the certificate scans on our certifications page.
Spot checks on products already on the market
The WPC also runs a sample verification service that lets retailers and brands check whether a product bought on the market matches its certified version. It is useful when you suspect a supplier has changed parts after certification.
What to ask for besides the Qi certificate
- FCC report or FCC ID for the US.
- CE declaration of conformity with the EMC (and, where relevant, RED) test reports for the EU.
- RoHS test report.
- UN38.3 test summary for anything with a battery.
Our documents are on the certifications page, and our Qi2.2 models are in the Qi2.2 magnetic line. If you are also comparing suppliers, read how to choose a wireless charger manufacturer.
