Certification basis standards

What is CCC certification?

The so-called CCC certification is the China Compulsory Certificate system, abbreviated as CCC (3C certification for short). As an authoritative "CCC" certification that combines National Safety Certification (CCEE), Import Safety and Quality Licensing System (CCIB), and China Electromagnetic Compatibility Certification (EMC), it is an advanced symbol of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration's integration with the international community, and has irreplaceable importance. All products listed in the mandatory product certification catalog that have not obtained the certification certificate from the designated certification agency or have not applied certification marks according to regulations are not allowed to be imported, sold from the factory, or used in business and service venues. It should be noted that the CCC mark is not a quality mark, but rather a fundamental safety certification.

2. Apply for certification of the product's Chinese user manual;

3. Product assembly diagram and electrical schematic diagram;

4. Process flow diagram for applying for certification of products (provided during initial application or change);
