China - 18 products no longer subject to CCC certification, 17 product groups added to the system of CCC manufacturer declaration

18 product groups no longer relevant for CCC certification

On 17. Oct. 2019 the authorities CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China) announced in their announcement 44/2019 that 18 product groups are removed from the mandatory certification according to CCC (China Compulsory Certification). This applies with effect from the date of publication.Affected companies can switch to voluntary certification by a Chinese certification organization. According to current information, this is free of charge until further notice. In some cases, the certification organization will even convert the affected certificates automatically.Labelling with the CCC logo is no longer permitted for affected product groups.According to already published specifications for products previously exempted from the certification obligation, the former certificate holder is allowed to remove the marking at his discretion and under consideration of his processes as soon as possible.For already labelled products, no problems with Chinese customs are to be expected.This can be due to demands from Chinese consumers, or to certification organizations for product approvals of products requiring certification in which these components are assembled (such as in motor vehicles).#Product categoryProduct group and group codeRelevant CNCA implementation rule1Wire and CableWire and cable for railway rolling stock with rated voltage of 3kV and below (0103)CNCA-C01-012Electrical toolsElectric screwdriver and impact wrench (0502)CNCA-C05-013Electrical toolsSanding machine (0504)CNCA-C05-014Electrical toolsCircular saw (0505)CNCA-C05-015Electric welderSmall AC arc welder (0601)CNCA-C06-016Electric welderAC arc welder (0602)CNCA-C06-017Electric welderSubmerged arc welding machine (0606)CNCA-C06-018Electric welderPlasma arc welder (0608)CNCA-C06-019Electric welderArc welding transformer anti-shock device (0609)CNCA-C06-0110Electric welderWelding cable coupling device (0610)CNCA-C06-0111Electric welderResistance welding machine (0611)CNCA-C06-0112Audio and video equipmentMonitor (0809)CNCA-C08-0113Audio and video equipmentTuning receivers and radios for various broadcast bands (0804)CNCA-C08-0114Motor vehicle and safety accessoryMotor Vehicle Interior Trimming and Insultion Material Products (1111)CNCA-C11-0915Motor vehicle and safety accessoryMotor vehicle door locks and door retainers (1112)CNCA-C11-1016Safety glassRailway vehicle safety glass (1303)CNCA-C13-0117Telecommunications terminal equipmentLandline telephone terminal and phone connection (1603)CNCA-C16-0118Telecommunications terminal equipmentPBX telephone system (1605)CNCA-C16-01

17 further product groups added to the manufacturer declaration system

In Furthermore, 17 additional products subject to CCC were included in the system for manufacturer declaration (self-declaration / declaration of conformity).Until 31. December 2019, affected certificate holders can choose whether they want to remain with the previous certification system (type test, factory inspection) or switch to the manufacturer declaration system (usually no factory inspection necessary). For this purpose, a specific application must be submitted to the responsible certification organization.As of 01. January 2020, CCC certificates will no longer be issued for first-time certifications (there is no valid CCC certificate yet) for the products concerned. Instead, applications for manufacturer declarations must be submitted.By 31 October 2020, existing CCC certificates must be converted to the manufacturer declaration system. Please note that the application must be made to the authority CNCA and not to the Chinese certification organizations.As of 01. November 2020, existing CCC certificates will be cancelled. The CNCA authority will withdraw the product groups from the approval of the individual certification organization for CCC certification. The previous CCC certificate holder is free to switch to a voluntary certification of the certification organization. In such a case, the manufacturer's declaration would still have to be applied for.Note:Type A: Test reports can be used from any accredited test laboratory and possibly even from a companies’ own laboratory.Type B: Test laboratories that have been accredited for CCC must be used.#Product categoryProduct group and group codeRelevant CNCA implementation ruleTypeRemark1Electrical toolsElectric drill (0501)CNCA-C05-01ANew2Electrical toolsElectric grinder (0503)CNCA-C05-01ANew3Electrical toolsElectric hammer (0506)CNCA-C05-01ANew4Electric welderDC arc welding machine (0603)CNCA-C06-01A5Electric welderTIG arc welder (0604)CNCA-C06-01A6Electric welderMIG/MAG arc welder (0607)CNCA-C06-01A7Electric welderPlasma arc cutting machine (0605)CNCA-C06-01A8Circuit switch and electrical device for protection or connectionThermal fuse (0205)CNCA-C02-01BNew9Circuit switch and electrical device for protection or connectionTubular fuse of miniature fuse (0207)CNCA-C02-01BNew10Circuit switch and electrical device for protection or connectionLeakage protector (0306)CNCA-C02-01BNew11Low voltage electrical applianceCircuit breaker (0307)CNCA-C03-02BNew12Low voltage electrical applianceFuse(0308)CNCA-C03-02BNew13Low voltage electrical applianceLow-voltage switch (isolator, isolating switch, fuse combination) (0302)CNCA-C03-02BNew14Low voltage electrical applianceOther circuit protection devices (0304, 0307, 0309)CNCA-C03-02BNew15Low voltage electrical applianceRelay (0303)CNCA-C03-02BNew16Low voltage electrical applianceOther switches (0305)CNCA-C03-02BNew17Low voltage electrical applianceOther devices (0304, 0305)CNCA-C03-02BNew18Low voltage electrical applianceLow-voltage switchgear (0301)CNCA-C03-01B19Low power motorLow power motor (0401)CNCA-C04-01B20Household and similar equipmentMotor-Compressor (0704)CNCA-C07-01B21Motor vehicle and safety accessoriesSafety belts (1104)CNCA-C11-04BNew22Motor vehicle and safety accessoriesMotor vehicle exterior lighting and light signal devices (1109, 1116)CNCA-C11-07;CNCA-02C-065BNew23Motor vehicle and safety accessoriesMotor vehicle seats and headrests (1114)CNCA-C11-12BNew24Motor vehicle and safety accessoriesMotor vehicle exterior lighting and light signal devices (1110, 1115)CNCA-C11-07;CNCA-02C-065B25Motor vehicle and safety accessoriesVehicle journey data recorder (1117)CNCA-C11-14B26Motor vehicle and safety accessoriesRetroreflective markings for vehicle bodies (1118)CNCA-C11-13B27Safety glassSafety glass for motor vehicles (1301)CNCA-C13-01BNew28Information technology equipment, audio and video equipmentEquipment with a nominal rated voltage of 5 VDC or less, a nominal rated power consumption of less than 15 W (or 15 VA).
