All Belkin products undergo rigorous safety, quality, and performance testing. The company’s global headquarters includes WPC certified test equipment and state-of-the-art test labs dedicated to full product lifecycle validation – ranging from mechanical and environmental assessments to real-world performance evaluations. Additional testing is conducted in Belkin’s engineering hubs in China and Taiwan. Every Qi2.2-certified product is backed by Belkin’s industry-leading warranty and customer support.

“Belkin has a long history of shaping industry standards alongside trusted organizations like the Wireless Power Consortium and USB-IF,” said Brian Van Harlingen, Chief Technology Officer at Belkin. “Securing first-mover Qi2.2 certification is another proud moment in that legacy – cementing our role in defining what fast and universal wireless charging will look like for the next generation of devices.”

Qi2.2 is the latest standard from the WPC, building on the Qi2 magnetic power profile introduced in 2023. It is expected to enable charging speeds up to 25W and expand wireless charging to new device categories. Like its predecessor, Qi2.2 features intelligent magnetic alignment for a safer, more reliable connection, while remaining backward-compatible with older Qi devices. It also includes advanced safety enhancements to protect device batteries and ensure consistent performance.
