China Type Approval: China Compulsory Certification
CCC – CHINA COMPULSORY CERTIFICATE
Ensure access to the Chinese market with CCC approval
Understanding China Compulsory Certification
CCC – China Compulsory Certification is a certification system like other quality standardization certifications such as the European CE system. However, there are significant differences. Introduced in 2002, the CCC certificate is mandatory for both imported goods and products manufactured in China.
Products Requiring CCC Certification
To sell or use products in China, a CCC certificate must be obtained for items falling under any of the 22 product categories specified in the CCC catalogue like electrical products, automotive, lighting products and tools, Telecommunication Terminal Equipment, medical devices, toys, Vehicle spare parts, Safety glass just to name a few.
Application Process
The formulation, administration, and implementation rules of the CCC certificate are overseen by three key authorities: the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA), and the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC).
To obtain the CCC mark, applicants must go through a formal application process with the CQC, the designated Chinese certification body. This process typically takes between 60 to 90 days
The China Compulsory Certification process includes the following steps:
Application – Submit application for China Compulsory Certification (CCC) along with documents like user manuals, CB reports, EMC reports, etc., regulatory labels and other information.
Submit Samples – After receiving a formal Application number from CQC, applicants can send their product samples to China for evaluation and testing.
Product testing in China – Type testing is conducted at a designated testing facility in China as specified by the CNCA.
Factory audit – An Initial Factory Inspection (IFI) is mandatory for manufacturers without a valid CCC Factory Inspection report or those undergoing the CCC certification process for the first time.
Issuance of CCC certificate
Marking with the CCC logo
Though The CCC certificate is valid for 5 years, annual follow-up inspection will be required.
Labelling for CCC
For products to be shipped to China and comply with CCC certification, they must be marked according to Chinese regulations.
The marking requirements include applying the CCC logo and Factory Code (a factory identification code) to the component. In addition, if using a label, the manufacturer’s name/trademark and the model designation should be included. It’s important to note that there may be additional marking requirements specific to each product type, so careful verification is necessary.
