671. What is the CCC compulsory product certification system?
Compulsory product certification system is the English acronym CCC, referred to as 3C certification, CCC contains three English words: China (China), Compulsory (mandatory) and Certification (Certification). CCC mandatory product certification system is the Chinese and even the global government to protect the majority of consumers and animal and plant life and safety, protection of the environment, Protection of national security, in accordance with laws and regulations to implement a product conformity assessment system, which requires products must comply with national standards and technical regulations. Compulsory product certification, is through the development of mandatory product certification of product catalogs and the implementation of mandatory product certification procedures, included in the "directory" of products to implement mandatory testing and auditing. Where included in the mandatory product certification directory of products, without access to the certificate of the designated certification body, not in accordance with the provisions of the certification mark, shall not be imported, shall not be sold and used in business service establishments.
2. The role of the CCC compulsory product certification system:
Compulsory product certification system in promoting the implementation of various national technical regulations and standards, regulating the market economic order, combating counterfeiting and shoddy behavior, promoting the level of quality management of products and the protection of consumer rights and interests, etc., with other work irreplaceable role and advantages. The certification system has been widely adopted by most countries in the world due to its scientific and fair nature. In countries with market economy systems, it is becoming an internationally accepted practice for governments to utilize compulsory product certification systems as a means of product market access.
3. Why did China establish the new CCC compulsory product certification system?
For a long time, China's 3C compulsory product certification system exists in the government out of multiple doors, duplication of evaluation, duplication of fees and certification and law enforcement behavior is not divided into the problem. Particularly prominent is the existence of domestic and imported products, internal and external two sets of certification management system. The former State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision of domestic products and part of the implementation of safety certification of imported goods and mandatory supervision and management, the former State Administration of Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine of imported goods on the implementation of imported goods safety and quality licensing system. These two systems will be part of the imported products are jointly included in the scope of mandatory certification, thus leading to the implementation of the same imported products by the two competent authorities of two certifications, stick two signs, the implementation of two standards and procedures. With China's accession to the WTO, according to the WTO agreements and internationally accepted rules, requiring China to unify the two certification systems, the mandatory product certification system to implement the "four unity", that is, a unified directory, a unified standard, technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures, a unified certification mark, a unified fee. At the same time, in order to improve and standardize China's compulsory product certification system, to solve the problem of multiple government, certification and law enforcement behavior is not separated from the problem of adapting to the development of China's market economy, better serve the economy and trade development. 2001, the newly established AQSIQ and CNCA, the establishment of a new national compulsory product certification system.
4. Time of publication:

A: 1. OEM plant situation: the plant is only a processing plant, different applicants / manufacturers to use the OEM plant, according to the manufacturer to provide the design and production process control and inspection requirements, in the OEM plant under the system of production, the use of different manufacturers of trademarks, should be based on the management of different applicants as different factories, the elements of the system does not repeat the review, but the product of the production process control and inspection, Product consistency review cannot be exempted.
2. ODM factory situation: different applicants/manufacturers utilize the same design, quality system and production process control and inspection requirements for production, using different manufacturers' trademarks. This situation is confirmed by the certification body document review, can be exempted from factory review. (Under the same conditions of production, the same conditions for the product structure type is identical, only trademark or product model is different, confirmed by the document review, can be exempted from the type test.)
3. At present, similar to the assembly of cell phone products production methods: CKD or SKD bulk assembly in the form of production, assembly after part of the test, assembly content may be very mannequin, but the labeling and certification mark, the nameplate production origin of the factory, then the mandatory product certification factory should be the assembly plant, but should be strictly reviewed the factory's control of the supply side of the requirements.
4. Production in A, B to replace the plug and labeling: production and testing in A, but in order to enter the Chinese market, to meet China's requirements, in the convenience of another site B (may be a workshop, repair station, depot, etc.) to replace the plug and labeling, then the mandatory product certification factory should be A plant, but should review the A plant on the control of the B plant, if necessary, can be arranged for a special visit to the B plant.
5. Class III electrical plant: the plant only produces Class III electrical products Class III electrical products, outsourcing power adapters, testing, boxing, factory in Class III electrical plant, the management of the plant is positioned as the plant. Certification body should strictly review the plant's control of power adapter supplier, if necessary, the power adapter supplier of the non-unit to obtain certification can be arranged for a special visit.
6. Machine production in the A plant, in the B plant only installed a card and software, mandatory product certification factory should be for the A plant should be B plant operations to implement control, production sites and factories should be the object of the review of the A plant.
27. Can mandatory product certification utilize factory testing resources for testing?
A: In order to enable the smooth implementation of compulsory product certification, shorten the mandatory product certification testing cycle and certification cycle, for some specific cases, you can use the factory's own testing resources for sample testing. Factory testing resources is to apply for mandatory product certification production plant or manufacturer's 100% own resources, and is located near the production plant.
28. What is the scope of application of utilizing plant testing resources?
A: 1. Samples are large, expensive to transport and difficult to deliver;
2. The products are seasonal and the production cycle is short;
3. A product that is mass-produced for only one batch and will not be produced in the future;
4. Other special circumstances.
29. What are the ways in which plant testing resources can be utilized?
A: According to the comprehensive situation of equipment resources, human resources and soft resources in the factory laboratory, combined with the characteristics of the product, the use of factory testing resources for sample testing is divided into the following two ways:
- Factory Witnessed Testing Method (WMT for short)
Tests by the certification body to assess the qualifications of the plant's testing equipment for testing, for the plant to submit the certification body's testing program, the certification body to send designated laboratory engineers to part of the test items and testing conditions for witnessing, testing personnel are responsible for issuing the original records and witnessing the engineers together in accordance with the prescribed format to draft the test report, by the relevant laboratory review and approval of the test report issued.
- Utilizing the factory equipment testing method (referred to as TMP)
Test by the certification body sent by the designated testing organization engineers to use the factory testing equipment for testing, the factory should be sent to assist the inspectors, test reports issued by the designated laboratory.
30. What are the requirements for factory laboratories utilizing factory testing resources?
A: Only by the certification body and testing organizations audit and evaluation of the following conditions of the factory laboratory, you can use the factory testing resources for sample testing:
1. WMT method
(1) Satisfy the requirements of ISO/IEC17025 standard, and the scope of accreditation includes WMT testing standards and programs.
(2) The contractor should be familiar with the product structure, testing standards, with a certain degree of testing experience. In principle, there should be more than 2 years of the same product standards testing experience.
2. TMP method
Satisfy the requirements of ISO/IEC17025, Chapter 5, Technical Competence.
The certification body, based on specific product characteristics, may propose additional requirements.
31. How does a factory laboratory qualify for mandatory product certification testing?
A: Individual cases, the applicant shall apply to the certification body, and according to the above conditions for self-inspection, the results of self-inspection and related information with the application submitted to the certification body for review. The certification body and the corresponding testing agency should organize technical experts to carry out on-site verification, and keep the corresponding audit assessment records. Only those who are qualified for the assessment can utilize the factory laboratory resources for testing.
The accreditation body shall promptly report the assessed factory laboratory to CNCA for record. In general, the applicant can also apply to CNAL.
32. Certification bodies, testing organizations to use plant testing resources for mandatory certification of product samples testing should bear what responsibility?
A: The use of factory testing resources for sample testing, and does not exempt, mitigate or transfer the "Management Regulations for Compulsory Product Certification" specified in the designated testing organizations, certification bodies should be responsible for test results, certification results should be responsible for. Designated testing organizations on the sample test reports and test results are fully responsible. The test report should indicate the use of factory laboratory resources.
33. How are fees charged for the use of factory testing resources for mandatory certification product testing? How are the standards set?
A: WMT and TMP testing fees are charged in accordance with the 50% of the Product Testing Fee Standards for Compulsory Product Certification, which has been reported to the State Planning Commission for the record. Other items such as the review of laboratory capacity, on-site testing of man-hours and other charges with reference to the "CNAL accreditation fees" in the "factory review fee standards." WMT and TMP testing fees and on-site testing of man-hours can not be more than the total cost of similar products to send samples for testing the total cost of the above costs charged by the relevant testing organizations.
34. What are the basic principles for the disposition of sample type test failures and for the determination and disposition of factory review failures?
A: 1. The principle of disposal of samples failing the type test is:
Type test fails or does not comply with the sample is allowed to change until qualified. Repeated testing fees are charged according to the actual test items, the completion of the type test report should be completed for a sample in principle.
2. The principles for determining and disposing of nonconformities in factory reviews are:
(1) Plant review conclusions are categorized into the following three types:
① If there are no non-conformities or a small number of minor non-conformities, and the site has been attacked and confirmed by the review team, the factory review is passed.
② When there are more minor nonconformities, but they do not have a serious impact on product consistency, the factory review shall be passed only after rectification within the specified period of time and confirmation by the review team.
(iii) If there are a large number of minor non-conformities that constitute a systematic non-conformity, or individual serious non-conformities that directly jeopardize the consistency of the product, the review shall not be passed.
(2) Definition of minor and major nonconformities.
Minor non-conformities: non-conformities that may have a minor impact on the safety and electromagnetic compatibility quality of the product.
Serious non-conformity: the product or production quality link produces serious safety, electromagnetic compatibility quality problems or a quality link of the problem, may cause the product safety, electromagnetic compatibility quality of the hidden danger class non-conformity.
If one of the following cases occurs in the review of product and product process control, it is judged as a serious nonconformity in principle:
① The key parts are not consistent with the type test, and the certification body has not agreed to the change.
② Failure to conduct inspection in accordance with the implementation rules for routine inspection and confirmation inspection.
(iii) Failure of sampling and testing.
35. Is the applicant free to choose an accreditation body to apply for accreditation?
A: The commission has designated nine certification bodies to specifically undertake the first batch of products in the directory of mandatory certification tasks, and the business scope of each agency has been designated. Applicants according to product categories to the corresponding designated certification body to apply. For the existence of cross-business scope of products, enterprises are free to choose the certification body.
36. When the same type of product of the same enterprise applies for certification to two certification bodies at the same time, can the factory review activities realize a single review and share the results?
A: In view of this situation, the principle of the Commission is not to duplicate the examination and charges. Arrangements should be made between the certification body, mutual recognition of inspection results. At the same time, I hope that enterprises will try to avoid the same type of products to two certification bodies to apply for certification occurs, to avoid the complexity of the certification process.
37. Does CCC certification recognize the certification/testing results of other certification bodies abroad?
A: According to the principle of equality and mutual benefit, mutual recognition of certification/testing results is based on bilateral or multilateral agreements between government agencies or recognized by governments. China has consistently advocated mutual recognition of certification/testing results on an equal basis to avoid duplicate testing and duplicate certification and to eliminate technical barriers to trade. For example, the IEC China National Committee is a member of the IECEE CB system of the International Electrotechnical Commission's electrical product safety certification organization, so China's compulsory product certification recognizes CB certificates and reports issued by member organizations of the IECEE CB system (within the scope of China's commitment to the standard).
38. Is the mandatory product certification consulting agency applicant still required to register for the record?
A: Yes. In order to ensure that the CCC certification system standardized action to facilitate enterprises to apply for certification, AQSIQ and CNCA has developed and issued a relevant approach to the agency to apply for registration and management of organizations
