CCC FAQ

1. -> Is it necessary for export product to obtain CCC approval?

Answer: For those products specially produced according to foreign trade contract, there is no need to apply for CCC certification. But the remained products for certain reason will be forbidden to sell in the market unless they obtain CCC approval.

2. -> For those components used in the appliance and listed separately in the First Catalogue of Product Subject to Compulsory Product Certification (hereafter Catalogue), is it necessary to obtain CCC approval?

Answer: If the whole appliance is listed in the Catalogue, it is recommended for the components used and listed in the Catalogue to apply for CCC certification separately; but it is also acceptable for them to only test with the appliance; If the whole appliance is not listed in the Catalogue, there is no need to apply for CCC certification if the components used in the appliance are not exported and sold separately, but it is necessary to obtain CCC approval if the components are exported or sold separately and they are listed in the Catalogue at the same time.

3. -> What are the conditions to recognize the CB Test Certificate? If the appliance has got CB Test Certificate, will the components used in it be subject to test or any other requirement?

Answer: The conditions to recognize the CB Test Certificate include:

A. The standard(s) used in the CB Test Certificate should be within the scope that China has declared to recognize;

B. Valid CB Test Report (preferable within three years, CB Test Certificate and CB Test Report);

C. The product name, model and specifications, manufacturer and factory listed in the CB Test Certificate must be the same with or cover those given in the application for CCC certification.

The right to check and test according to the national difference is reserved. The components used in the appliance shall be recognized, but the right to check is reserved as well.

4. -> Can the manufacturer with ISO9001 certification be avoid of factory inspection for Compulsory Product Certification?

Answer: No. Factory inspection for Compulsory Product Certification has some quality system requirements as a part, but the more important part is the specific requirements for production process control, inspection and check of consistency of the product. For those manufacturers have got ISO9001 certification issued by the certification body authorized by CNCA, it is acceptable to simplify the inspection for quality system.

5. -> Is the applicant free to choose the Certification Body for application?

Answer: CNCA has designated 9 certification bodies to deal with Compulsory Product Certification for the first Catalogue and specified the product scope for each Certification Body. For those products covered by more than one certification body, the applicant is free to choose any applicable one for application.

6. -> Can the certification/testing results issued by other certification bodies (domestic or overseas) be recognized for CCC certification?

China always agrees with mutual recognition of certification/testing results based on equal principals to avoid repeat of testing and certification and to remove technical trade barrier. Currently, IEC China National Committee is the member of IECEE-CB Scheme, so only CB Test Certificate and CB Test Report issued by member of IECEE-CB Scheme could be recognized for China Compulsory Product Certification (only for those standards recognized by China).

7. -> Is it possible for foreign organizations to be designated as certification body, testing body or inspection body for China Compulsory Product Certification?
