1. Overview of CCC Certification Categories

♦ China Compulsory Certification (CCC certification)

  • In accordance with the Compulsory Product Certification Regulations, China implements a compulsory certification system for products involving human health and safety, animal and plant life and health, environmental protection, and public safety.
  • Products listed in the Compulsory Product Certification Catalog cannot be imported, sold, or used in business services without a certification certificate from a designated certification body and the proper application of the CCC mark.

♦ CCC Exemption

  • According to CNCA Announcement No. 3 (2005), products listed in the catalog may be exempt from obtaining a CCC certificate and applying the CCC mark if they meet specific conditions.

♦ Products Outside CCC Scope

  • Refers to products whose customs HS code falls under the general “CCC Compulsory Certification Catalog,” but which, in practice, do not require CCC certification for import. After a successful identification process confirming the product is outside the scope, an application number is issued. This number can be used for customs declaration instead of a CCC certificate.
