China CCC certification

The full name of 3C certification is "Compulsory Product Certification System". It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by governments in order to protect consumers' personal safety and national security, strengthen product quality management, and implement in accordance with laws and regulations. The so-called 3C certification is China's compulsory product certification system, the English name is China Compulsory Certification, and the English abbreviation is CCC.

3C certification in China

In order to fulfill its commitment to join the WTO, the Chinese government released a compulsory product certification system on December 3, 2001. From May 1, 2002, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration began to accept the first batch of 19 major products included in the compulsory product catalog. Certification application for 132 products.

It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in accordance with relevant WTO agreements and international rules in order to protect the personal safety of consumers and the lives of animals and plants, protect the environment, and protect national security. It is implemented in accordance with laws and regulations. The main features are: the state publishes a unified catalog, determines uniformly applicable national standards, technical rules and implementation procedures, formulates unified signs and logos, and stipulates unified charging standards. All products included in the compulsory product certification catalog must be certified by a nationally designated certification agency. After obtaining relevant certificates and adding certification marks, they can be shipped, imported, sold and used in business and service venues.

China's General Administration of Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration jointly issued the "Compulsory Product Certification Management Regulations" on December 3, 2001, which implements "unified catalog and unified standards" for 132 types of products in 19 categories listed in the catalog. Compulsory certification management with assessment procedures, unified marks and unified fees. The original "CCIB" certification and "Great Wall CCEE certification" were unified into "China Compulsory Certification" (English name is China Compulsory Certification), and its English abbreviation is "CCC", so it is also referred to as "3C" certification.

“3C” certification will be fully implemented from May 1, 2003 (later postponed to August 1), and the original product safety certification and import safety and quality licensing systems will be abolished at the same time. The compulsory product certification systems that have been published currently include the "Management Regulations on Compulsory Product Certification", "Measures for the Management of Compulsory Product Certification Marks", "The First Batch of Product Catalogs Implementing Compulsory Product Certification" and "Related Information on the Implementation of Compulsory Product Certification". Notice of Problems. The first batch of products included in the compulsory certification catalog include wires and cables, switches, low-voltage electrical appliances, power tools, household appliances, audio and video equipment, information equipment, telecommunications terminals, motor vehicles, medical equipment, safety equipment, etc.

It should be noted that the 3C mark is not a quality mark, but only a basic safety certification.

3C certification mainly attempts to completely solve the long-term problems of multiple policies and duplication in China's product certification system through a package of solutions such as "unified catalog, unified standards, technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures, unified certification marks, and unified charging standards". Reviews, repeated charges, and the indistinguishability of certification and enforcement activities, and the establishment of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures that are consistent with international rules can promote trade facilitation and liberalization.

meaning

3C certification is the abbreviation of China Compulsory Product Certification. Unified regulations have been made on the legal basis for compulsory product certification, the product scope for which compulsory product certification is implemented, the use of compulsory product certification marks, and the supervision and management of compulsory product certification. The main contents can be summarized as follows:

(1) In accordance with relevant WTO agreements and internationally accepted rules, the state implements a unified compulsory product certification system in accordance with the law for products involving human health and safety, animal and plant life safety and health, as well as environmental protection and public safety. The National Certification and Accreditation Administration is responsible for the management, organization and implementation of the national compulsory product certification system.

(2) The main features of the national compulsory product certification system are that the state publishes a unified catalog, determines uniformly applicable national standards, technical rules and implementation procedures, formulates unified signs and labels, and stipulates unified charging standards. All products included in the compulsory product certification catalog must be certified by a nationally designated certification agency. After obtaining relevant certificates and adding certification marks, they can be shipped, imported, sold and used in business and service venues.(3) In accordance with China’s WTO commitments and the principle of national treatment, the two systems originally covered 138 types of products. The “Catalogue” announced this time has deleted medical ultrasound diagnostic and treatment equipment that were originally included in compulsory certification management. 16 kinds of products, 10 kinds of products such as safety glass for construction have been added, and there are 132 kinds of compulsory certification products actually included in the "Catalogue".

(4) The state uses unified marks for compulsory product certification. The name of the new national compulsory certification mark is "China Compulsory Certification", the English name is "China Compulsory Certification", and the English abbreviation can be referred to as the "3C" mark. After the China Compulsory Certification Mark is implemented, it will replace the original "Great Wall" mark and "CCIB" mark.

(5) The state uniformly determines the charging items and standards for compulsory product certification. The formulation of new charging items and charging standards will be based on the principles of not for profit and reflecting national treatment, comprehensively consider the current charging situation, and refer to similar overseas certification charging items and charging standards.

(6) The compulsory product certification system was implemented on August 1, 2002, and the relevant certification agencies officially began accepting applications. The original product safety certification system and import safety and quality licensing system will be abolished as of August 1, 2003.

English

3C certification is actually the English abbreviation of the English name "China Compulsory Certification" (China Compulsory Product Certification System), and it is also the unified mark used by the country for compulsory product certification. As a three-in-one "CCC" authoritative certification of National Safety Certification (CCEE), Import Safety and Quality Licensing System (CCIB), and China Electromagnetic Compatibility Certification (EMC), it is an advanced step for China General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and National Certification and Accreditation Administration to integrate with international standards. Logo has irreplaceable importance. It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in accordance with relevant WTO agreements and international rules in order to protect the personal safety of consumers and the lives of animals and plants, protect the environment, and protect national security. It is implemented in accordance with laws and regulations. Its main features are: the state publishes a unified catalog, determines uniformly applicable national standards, technical rules and implementation procedures, formulates unified signs and logos, and stipulates unified charging standards. All products included in the compulsory product certification catalog must be certified by a nationally designated certification agency. After obtaining relevant certificates and adding certification marks, they can be shipped, imported, sold and used in business and service venues. At present, China has announced a total of 132 products in the first batch of 19 categories that must pass compulsory certification. Mainly including wires and cables, low-voltage electrical appliances, information technology equipment, safety glass, fire protection products, motor vehicle tires, latex products, etc.

effect

The 3C mark is usually affixed to the surface of the product or pressed on the product through molding. If you look carefully, you will find multiple small diamond-shaped "CCC" marks. There is a random code behind each 3C logo, and each random code has a corresponding manufacturer and product. When the Certification Mark Issuance and Management Center issues the compulsory product certification mark, the product corresponding to the code has been entered into the computer database, and consumers can query the code through the National Quality Certification Center.

another definition

It should be noted that the 3C mark is not a quality mark, but only the most basic safety certification. Some of its indicators represent the safety and quality of the product, but it does not mean that the product's performance is equally excellent, so purchase When purchasing a product, in addition to seeing whether it has the 3C mark, other indicators are also important.

Interpretation 2

3C also means: competitivecompletecollective

"CCC" certification mark is divided into four categories

The current "CCC" certification mark is divided into four categories, namely:

1. CCC+S safety certification mark;

2. CCC+EMC electromagnetic compatibility certification mark;

3． CCC+S&E safety and electromagnetic compatibility certification mark;

4. CCC+F fire certification mark;

Each of the four types of signs has five sizes and sizes.

Each of the above four categories of signs comes in five sizes.

The CCC mark is generally affixed to the product or pressed onto the product through molding. The currently designed CCC mark not only has laser anti-counterfeiting, but also has a unique serial number for each model, and the serial numbers are not repeated. The method for consumers to distinguish between genuine and fake CCC marks is very simple.

If you look closely at the CCC logo, you will find multiple small prismatic "CCC" hidden marks. In addition, the most difficult thing about the CCC mark is that there is a random code behind each mark, which indicates the manufacturer and product corresponding to each random code. Based on the random code, you can identify whether the source of the product is authentic.

Why 3C certification is necessary

In order to fulfill China's commitment to join the WTO, adapt to the needs of China's market economic development, and establish a technology evaluation mechanism in line with international standards, China established the China Compulsory Product Certification System (CCC) based on four unified principles.

CCC is a full or partial replacement of the original import and export commodity safety and quality licensing system (CCIB), safety certification mandatory supervision system (Great Wall), network access license system, sales license system, and industrial product production license system.

In accordance with the work responsibilities assigned by the State Council, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration issued a compulsory product certification system on December 3, 2001. Since May 1, 2002, the first batch of certification applications for 132 products in 19 categories included in the compulsory product certification catalog have been accepted. On May 1 this year, enforcement supervision of the certification of these products will begin (now postponed to August 1).

Instructions for exempting from CCC application:

However, in view of the special circumstances in production, import and business activities, the China Certification and Accreditation Administration issued Announcement No. 8 of 2002, stipulating that some products can apply for exemption from 3C certification.

This product range includes:

1. Products that need to be imported and produced for scientific research and testing;

2. Parts and components imported with imported materials or processed with supplied materials for the purpose of exporting the entire machine;

3． Products exclusively for export according to foreign trade contracts (excluding products that are partly sold back to the country or sold domestically);

4. Imported parts and components are required for the introduction of production lines for technology assessment;

5. Products imported and produced directly for end-user repair purposes; repair parts provided for products that have ceased production;

6. Products for other special circumstances.

For products that are exempt from 3C certification, manufacturers or agents should apply to the China National Certification Supervision and Administration Commission and

Submit the certification materials, liability guarantee, product conformity statement (including formal test report), etc. that meet the conditions for exemption, and obtain the "Exemption" upon approval.

"Compulsory Product Certification Certificate" will be processed and effective from May 1, 2003. In addition, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration also stipulates that for the above-mentioned products that are exempt from 3C certification, the scope of products in Article 2 and Article 3, domestic assembly plants or domestic production plants can apply to their respective locations according to their own convenience.

Apply for an exemption certificate from the local inspection and quarantine bureau or the National Certification and Accreditation Administration.
