What does a China Compulsory Certification (CCC) entail?

Posted On May 2014

China Compulsory Certification (CCC) is a compulsory safety mark for domestically manufactured and imported products into China approved and jointly released by the General Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ) and the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA), which are listed in the CCC Product Catalogue.

The CCC mark is administered by the CNCA, which appoints the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) to process CCC mark applications.

The certification process usually takes between four to eight months. An appointed test laboratory in China will test product samples and CQC will send representatives to inspect the manufacturing facilities. CCC certificates are valid for five years from the original date of issuance. The CCC certificate and permission of printing the CCC mark must be renewed annually as part of a follow-up certification, which involves a one-day factory audit.
