CCC Mark and certification
Demonstrate compliance to export consumer products to China.What is the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) scheme to obtain CCC Mark?
The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) scheme requires manufacturers to obtain approval for their products before they can be marketed, imported, or used for any commercial purposes in China.
To achieve CCC certification, the manufacturers must apply to the certification body and send their goods for testing to the laboratories authorised by CNCA. Self-certification is not usually permitted.
TÜV SÜD provides comprehensive services for a smooth CCC certification process to receive CCC mark. We support you with product testing, factory inspection, and documentation creation.
Why the CCC Mark is important
Many types of products must be CCC certified before they can gain legal access to the Chinese marketplace. The CCC mark proves to regulatory authorities and consumers that your product complies with environmental and safety legislation. This avoids costly recalls or product rework, and you can sell your products quickly within the Chinese market.
Ports of entry can hold or impound products without CCC certification and manufacturers may be subject to other penalties. Buyers may also demand CQC , HQC or CCAP accreditation as evidence of your commitment to delivering quality products that are safe for use.
