Our presence in China, along with our partnership with CQC-TS allows us to reduce your time to market and provide you with the best possible pricing. Additionally, in order to better serve our clients that manufacture in China, our facility in Beijing has recently been approved to conduct testing under UL’s Witness Test Data (WTDP) program.

The government of China has introduced a new Safety/EMC licensing system. This system, implemented on May 1, 2002, requires manufacturers in 132 product categories to obtain the CCC Mark before exporting or selling into the Chinese market and impacts many U.S. exporters across a wide range of manufacturing sectors. Products not meeting CCC requirements may be held at the border and subjected to other penalties by Chinese Customs Officials.

The CCC Mark is administered by the Chinese government agency, Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA), and the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) is designated by the CNCA to process CCC Mark applications.

Four major steps in the CCC Mark application process

Application

Submission of an application and supporting materials, including user guides, CB reports, EMC reports, regulatory labels and other information.

Evaluation

Review of certification results and approval (or failure and retesting).

Type Testing

A CNCA-designated test laboratory in China will test product samples if necessary.

Factory Inspection

Manufacturing facilities for the product will have to go through an Initial Plant Inspection (IPI) and will be re-inspected by Chinese officials every 12-18 months.
