GCC is the English abbreviation of General Certificate of Conformity. It is a manufacturer and importer of general use (i.e., non-children's products) under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and is required to be based on reasonable testing.
It is suitable for many fields such as electrical and electronic products, chemicals, building materials, auto parts, etc.
GCC certification can provide products with proof of passing standard inspections and meeting quality requirements, ensuring the quality and safety of products in the market.
GCC certification requires products to meet a range of technical, safety and environmental standards.
These standards cover the requirements for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical safety, environmental friendliness, etc.
The purpose of GCC certification is to ensure the quality and safety of products in the market, improve the competitiveness of products, and prevent low-quality or unsafe products from entering the market.
Compared with GCC certification, CPC certification refers to the certification system of China Compulsory Product Certification (CNC).
CPC certification requires that some specific products sold in China (such as electrical appliances, automobiles, mechanical equipment, etc.) must be certified.
The purpose of CPC certification is similar to GCC certification, both are to ensure product quality and safety.
The differences can be analyzed in depth from the following aspects:
1.Scope: GCC certification is for Arab countries, while CPC certification is for China.
2.Standards: GCC certification is based on Arab national standards to develop certification requirements, while CPC certification is based on Chinese national standards to develop certification requirements.
3.Product Category:
GCC certification is applicable to a wider range of products, including electrical and electronic products, chemicals, building materials, and many other sectors.
The CPC certification is mainly applicable to specific products such as electrical appliances, automobiles, and mechanical equipment.
4.Certification Procedure:
The certification process for GCC certification and CPC certification is similar in that both require testing by a testing laboratory, document review, and factory audit.
It should be noted that although there are some differences between GCC certification and CPC certification, they are both to ensure the quality and safety of products and protect the rights and interests of consumers.
Whether in Arab countries or China, companies should actively carry out certification to improve the quality and competitiveness of products and provide consumers with better quality products.
Therefore, in the process of market expansion, enterprises should understand the certification requirements of the target market and actively carry out relevant certification.
