China Compulsory Certification - The EMC requirements An Introduction Patrick Wong General Manager Electrical Products Division The Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre 2006/11/10 1 The latest import certification requirements for Electrical products to China The aim of this presentation is to brief the general certification and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements for the China Compulsory Certification (CCC). 2006/11/10 2 Scope of discussion for CCC CCC responsible parties CCC functional groups Scope of products covered by CCC and Voluntary certification Technical requirements for CCC EMC aspects STC, service for the CCC Certification 2006/11/10 3 China National Committee of Certification Accreditation (CNCA) CNCA (中国国家认证认可监督管理委员会) is the competent authority for managing, supervising and coordinating the national certification and accreditation. Main functions: Perform management and supervision for certification accreditation for calibration, inspection and testing labs which was performed by the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. 2006/11/10 4 China Quality Certification Centre 中国质量 国质量认证中心 认证中心 (CQC) On 29 March 2002, with the approval of CNCA, CQC undertakes the CCC certification for products subject to compulsory certification appointed by the State. The secretariats of the former China Certification Commission for Electrical Equipment (CCEE) and China Import & Export Quality Certification Centre (CIQ) are merged to form China Quality Certification Centre (CQC). 2006/11/10 5 China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) With the approval from the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (国家质量监督检验 检疫总局 AQSIQ), CQC has replaced CCEE to become the National Certification Body (NCB) in the IECEE-CB Scheme. STC is the appointed laboratory under CQC. 2006/11/10 6 China Certification Centre for Electromagnetic Compatibility (CEMC) Similar to CQC, CEMC is a third party product certification institution approved by the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine CEMC is also the certification institution that is authorized to undertake the certification for Products Subject to Compulsory Certification (CCC Certification) for electrical products. 2006/11/10 7 Chinese Compulsory Certification (CCC) and the Marks Effective 1 May 2002, all products that are listed in the Catalogue of Products Subject to Compulsory Certification shall be subject to certification by the certification institutions appointed by the State and related certificates are issued and certification marks are made before they can leave the factory for sales, imported and used in operational activities. 2006/11/10 8 Catalogue of Products Subject to Compulsory Certification, CCC 1. Electrical wires and cables ( Cord sets, Flexible rubber-sheathed cables for mining purpose etc.) 2.
