On August 21st 2014 the CNCA has publicized its announcement 31/2904 dealing with the revised implementation rules for CCC-certification of all automotive products, vehicles and their components.The most significant adjustments affect the product group “interior materials”: New products have been included in this group such as sound and thermal insulation materials used in the engine compartment. Also certain products that before were free of CCC will need certification under the new rule. This applies for instance to instrument panels, center consoles, floor mats and boot linings for sports cars and convertibles.Also there are new definitions regarding inspection and spare part management, some of which have already been in use by the Chinese certification organizations over the past years.All new regulations will be officially implemented on January 1, 2015.For more detailed information please contact us:Cisema China Certification GmbHTel.: +49 89 4161 7389-00Fax: +49 89 7484 9956info@cisema.dewww.cisema.de

The new organizations will primarily deal with the following product-groups:CTC (Guangdong Quality Testing CTC Certification Co. LTD): Cables, switches, electric lighting, low-voltage electrical componentsCQM (China Certification Center for Quality Mark): switches, electric hand tools, welding machines, other electric componentsCESI (China Electronic Standardization Institute): Audio/video equipmentCVC (Guangzhou VKAN Certification and Testing Co.

As of 01.01.2015 the new implementation rules for vehicles and their components came into force. The update has been published on CNCA’s (China National Certification Administration) homepage in Chinese.

The import of used machines to China will become much easier: AQSIQ (State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine) regulates the process anew with Communication No. 145 2014.Since the beginning of 2015, the complex and time-consuming application for the import of used machines at CIQ (China Inspection and Quarantine) has been eliminated.From now on, the Chinese customs tariff number can be used to determine whether it is possible to import a used machine or plant and which further steps are necessary for the import - for example, a pre-shipment inspection by the CCIC (China Certification & Inspection Group) or an Automatic Import License.The new regulation makes such exports easier to plan and significantly reduces the time and thus also the financial expenditure.Further information on the topics mentioned can be obtained from:Cisema GmbHTel.: +49 89 4161 7389 - 00Fax: +49 89 7484 9956info@cisema.dewww.cisema.de

CCC certification - dimensions of interior and insulation materials in the automotive sector further specified:On 01.01.2015 the new implementation guideline of the CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China) for automotive interiors and insulating materials came into force (CNCA-C11-09:2014). With this regulation, a number of new components have been included in the scope of CCC certification (China Compulsory Certification). This led to an increase in the number of applications for CCC certification of products whose relevance was not clear.The competent Commission was therefore obliged to publish a further clarification of the Directive in December 2015. Based on last year's experience, especially with frame parts, components that completely cover a rectangle with the standard dimensions 356 x 100 mm are considered for certification. The final decision on compulsory certification clearly focuses on the geometry of the component. For example, a large component with several holes, one of which occupies more than 50% of the total area, may not be eligible for certification if the test sample cannot be cut in the required shape and size. In cases of doubt, the respective Chinese certification organisation makes an individual decision. Until now, smaller components were also accepted for certification if they reached the standard dimensions only in terms of length and width (e.g. in the form of a triangle). For affected components, certification can be maintained or cancelled if desired.Further information on the topics mentioned can be obtained from:Cisema China Certification GmbHTel.: +49 89 4161 7389-00Fax: +49 89 7484 9956info@cisema.dewww.cisema.de
