China Compulsory Certification (CCC)
Before you can sell a product in China, you must prove that it meets Chinese radio, public safety, and energy standards. Mandatory certification applies to a wide range of products, including everything from Bluetooth dongles to automobiles.
CCC certification (China Compulsory Certification) is a mandatory safety certification system prescribed by law and is the most popular for products sold in the Chinese market. CCC is also known as 3C certification and is a national responsibility for protecting consumer rights, personal safety, property and security.
Certain products may also require SRRC, NAL, CCIS, CEL certifications, depending on the product type and its functionality.
CCC Certification
The China Compulsory Certification is a mandatory certification including product testing in China, an initial factory audit and subsequent annual follow-up inspections for products that are listed in the CCC catalog.
Validity of CCC certificate: 5 years
CCC Self-Declaration Certification - SDoC
This is a certification that applies to specific types of products. The manufacturer is required to obtain the self-declaration certificate. Certain requirements must be met and corresponding information must be uploaded into a regulatory online system. In addition, product tests in China are usually required.
Voluntary certification (CCAP (China Certification Center for Automotive Products Co., LTD.) and CQC (China Quality Certification Center))
Many products that do not fall under the CCC obligation according to the CCC regulations or require a CCC Self-Declaration can obtain a voluntary certification. Voluntary certifications provide an indication to the end user that a certified product meets certain specified quality standards. The criteria checked are very similar to those for standard CCC certification. Often the requirement for voluntary certification comes from the end customer or OEM, which is why many manufacturers requested or required to have products certified.
