CCC Certification

The CCC Certification, which stands for China Compulsory Certification, is the marking needed by products to be commercialized in the Chinese market. The product families that must undergo CCC Certification procedures, and display the corresponding mark, are divided into specific subcategories and can be identified based on their respective customs codes (HS classification).

China continues to increase the number of products subject to specific technical regulations before they can be marketed. The whole regulatory system is headed by a specific state body, the CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration); when drafting the specific rules, however, the CNCA relies on an operating body called the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC).
