CCC certification

日期: 2020-06-09

CCC Certification is equivalent to the 3C Certification.

 

The 3C Certification, known as China Compulsory Certification, is a product conformity assessment system implemented by China government, for the purpose of protecting consumer’s life and health, strengthening product quality, and is required to be acted with laws and regulations.

 

Definition

3C Certification is China Compulsory Certification in short. It includes:

 

 (1) Within the framework of World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and common international rules, CCC is set up to ensure human, animal and plant’s safety, environmental protection and state security. The Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China (CNCA) is responsible for administrating and coordinating the implementation of the certification.

 (2) CCC Certification is featured by the unified Catalogue of the Mandatory Products, applicable national standards, technical regulations, implementation process with the identical markings and specified costs. All the products listed in the Mandatory Catalogue are subject to certified in order to be imported, sold and used in the legal way.

 

 (3) According to China's commitments to WTO, the principle of national treatment, the orginal two systems covered a total of 138 products, the Catalogue of Mandatory Products published this time deleted 16 products including medical ultrasonic diagnosis and treatment devices etc. in the original compulsory certification management, while adding an extra 10 products including safety glasses for construction etc. The actual number of products listed in the Catalogue of Mandatory Products is 132.

 (4) The state shall use a unified CCC marking for the listed products. The new name of the national compulsory certification marking is China Compulsory Certification, which can be used in short form “CCC”. Upon the implementation of the China Compulsory Certification mark, it shall replace the former “Great Wall” and “CCIB” marking.

 

 (5) China standardized the charge for CCC in non-profit and serve-for-citizen principles, which also refers to the similar handling method in the other countries

 (6) China Compulsory Certification shall become effective from Aug. 1st 2002. The relevant organizations shall intake the application officially. The former product safety certification and certification system shall be abolished from Aug. 1st 2003.

 

3C Certificate is the abbreviation of “China Compulsory Certification”, which is also the national unified marking for the listed product certification. As an authorized certification in combination of the three certifications CCIB (short for “China Commodity Inspection Bureau”), CCEE (short for “China Commission for Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment”) and EMC (short for “electro-magnetic compatibility”), it is an irreplaceable and advanced symbol of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China (CNCA) have geared themselves to the international conventions. At present, China promulgated the First Catalogue of Products subject to the China Compulsory Certification, which includes 19 categories and 132 types. The Catalogue mainly includes electrical wires and cables, low-voltage electrical apparatus, information technology equipment, safety glasses, firefighting equipment, motor vehicle tyres, latex products, etc.

 

Role

Generally, 3C markings are presented on the surface of the product, or molded into the product. A number of small diamond shape “CCC” markings could be found. There is a random code following every 3C marking that can be matched to the corresponding manufacturer and product. The Certification Marking Issuing Center has input the code into a computer database while releasing it. The consumers can inquire the code through China Quality Certification Center.
