Guidelines for CCC mark
About the CCC Mark
The CCC (China Compulsory Certification) Mark is a mandatory safety and quality mark for products sold in the Chinese market. The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) Mark, effective since May 1, 2002, has been the compulsory quality and safety mark for electrical, electronic and many other products sold in China and consolidates the existing CCIB and CCEE into one standard (as of Aug. 1, 2003). In addition to safety testing, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing is compulsory!
Advantages of the CCC Mark
- The CCC Mark serves as evidence that covered products can be marketed, imported or used in China. When using the mark, the certificate holder must abide by the Regulations for the Compulsory Product Certification Mark.
- The government of China has introduced a new safety license system. The new system requires manufacturers in 132 product categories to obtain the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark before exporting to or selling in the China market.
