Most products that want to enter the Chinese market must meet the relevant safety and quality standards and be qualified to sell in the Chinese market. This is what we call CCC compulsory certification.
It is important to note that CCC certification is not a one-time thing, and its validity period varies according to the requirements of different product categories and certification rules, usually 5 years. In addition, CCC certification holders are also required to conduct regular surveillance sampling and supervision inspections to ensure the continuous compliance of their products.
The following is a description of the limited term of CCC certification and other precautions of Yingli Testing to help customers further understand the details of CCC product certification.
The first is the validity period, the validity period of CCC certification is usually 5 years, calculated from the date of issuance of the certification certificate. The certification body will clearly indicate the expiration date of the validity period on the certification certificate. During the validity period, products with CCC certification can be legally sold and distributed.
The second is supervision sampling and supervision inspection: In order to ensure the continuous compliance of products, CCC certification requires certified enterprises to accept supervision sampling, that is, sampling testing and evaluation periodically during the validity period. The frequency and specific requirements of surveillance sampling are determined according to the requirements of the product category and certification rules.
In addition to surveillance sampling, CCC certification also requires regular surveillance inspections. Supervision and inspection is to send professionals by the certification body to audit and evaluate the quality management system, production process, use of logos and other aspects of the certified enterprise to ensure that the product continues to meet the certification requirements.
Subsequent certification renewal is also essential, and when the validity period of CCC certification is about to expire, the certificate holder needs to apply for certification renewal in time. Renewing certification requires retesting and evaluation to verify the product's compliance. The certification body will decide whether to issue a new certification certificate based on the results of the renewed certification.
If there are any major changes to the product during the validity period of CCC certification, such as changes in structure, function, materials, etc., the certified enterprise needs to notify the certification body in time and apply for the evaluation and testing of the relevant changes. This is to ensure that the changed product still meets the requirements of CCC certification.
The marking and marking part is also very important, and products with CCC certification must use the CCC mark correctly and comply with the corresponding marking and marking regulations. The use of the CCC mark must not mislead consumers and must not be used on products that are not certified by the CCC.
It is important to note that during the CCC certification period and during the continuous validity period, the licensed enterprises should also pay close attention to the changes and updates of relevant laws and regulations, and keep abreast of any changes in policies and requirements related to product certification.
By complying with the validity period and precautions of CCC certification, companies holding the certification can ensure the compliance of their products, smooth sales and maintain market access qualifications. At the same time, it is also recommended that enterprises cooperate with a professional CCC certification consulting organization for more detailed and specific guidance and assistance. If you have any questions about CCC certification, you are also welcome to consult Yingli Testing.
