CCc &CQC
In order to fulfill its commitment to join the World Trade Organization, the Chinese government issued a compulsory product certification system on December 3, 2001. From May 1, 2002, the CNCA began to accept the first batch of certification applications for 132 products in 19 categories listed in the compulsory product catalogue.
It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government in accordance with laws and regulations in accordance with the relevant agreements of the WTO and international prevailing rules, in order to protect the life safety of consumers, animals and plants, protect the environment and protect national security.
On December 3, 2001, the General Administration of Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China jointly issued the Regulations on the Administration of Compulsory Product Certification, which implemented the compulsory certification management of "unified catalogue, unified standards and evaluation procedures, unified marks and unified charges" for 132 products of 19 categories listed in the catalogue. The original "CCIB" certification and "Great Wall CCEE certification" are unified as "China Compulsory Certification" (English name: China Compulsory Certification), whose English abbreviation is "CCC", so it is also referred to as "3C" certification.
The "3C" certification was fully implemented from May 1, 2002 (later postponed to August 1), and the original product safety certification and import safety and quality licensing system were abolished at the same time. At present, the published compulsory product certification systems include the Administrative Provisions on Compulsory Product Certification, the Administrative Measures on Compulsory Product Certification Marks, the First Batch of Products Subject to Compulsory Product Certification and the Notice on Issues Related to the Implementation of Compulsory Product Certification. The first batch of products listed in the compulsory certification catalogue include wires and cables, switches, low-voltage electrical appliances, electric tools, household appliances, car tires, truck tires, audio and video equipment, information equipment, telecommunications terminals, motor vehicles, medical devices, safety and protection equipment, etc.
So far, a number of products have been released. In addition to the first batch of catalogs, paint, ceramics, automobile products, toys and other products have also been added.
It should be noted that the 3C mark is not a quality mark, but a basic safety certification.
3C certification mainly aims to solve the problems of multiple policies, repeated reviews, repeated charges and the indistinguishable between certification and law enforcement in China's product certification system for a long time through a package of solutions such as "unified catalogue, unified standards, technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures, unified certification marks and unified charging standards", and establish technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures consistent with international rules, It can promote trade facilitation and liberalization.
