Introduction
The Certification and Accreditation Administration of China （CNCA) has announced a major update to the Compulsory Product Certification (CCC certification) system. To enhance product quality and safety supervision, China will transition to mandatory third-party certification evaluation for select product categories, moving away from the previous self-declaration model. This critical regulatory change affects manufacturers and importers of widely used products. Businesses must carefully note the following key deadlines and conversion requirements to ensure their products remain compliant and maintain market access in China.

Announcement on Adjusting the Certification Model for Products within the CCC Catalog
Release Date: January 7, 2026
Announcement No.: 2025, No. 57

To further strengthen product quality and safety oversight, in accordance with the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Certification and Accreditation, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has decided to adjust the certification model for certain products within the Compulsory Product Certification (CCC) catalog. The new policy mandates a third-party certification evaluation method. The specific requirements are announced as follows:

1. Scope of Adjustment and Effective Date
Effective January 1, 2027, the following 16 product categories must obtain a CCC certification certificate and bear the CCC mark before they can be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities within China:

• Fuses, Small Power Motors
• Electric Drills, Electric Grinders, Electric Hammers
• DC Arc Welding Machines, TIG Arc Welding Machines, MIG/MAG Arc Welding Machines, Plasma Arc Cutting Machines
• Automotive Safety Glass, Automotive Safety Belts
• External Lighting and Light-Signaling Devices for Motor Vehicles, Indirect Vision Devices for Motor Vehicles
• Automotive Seats and Head Restraints, Automotive Event Data Recorders, Retro-reflective Markings for Vehicles

Concurrently, the self-declarations for these products in the “Self-Declaration Information Submission System for Compulsory Certification Product Compliance” will be uniformly invalidated.

2. Certification Transition Plan
To ensure a smooth transition, the following timeline is established:

• Certification Application Start Date: Beginning July 1, 2026, designated certification bodies (to be specified separately) will start accepting CCC certification applications for the 16 products listed above. For products currently holding valid self-declarations, certification bodies will actively utilize the existing evaluation results to issue new CCC certificates, provided certification quality and risks are controlled.
• System Update: Starting July 1, 2026, the self-declaration system will no longer accept or generate new self-declarations for these products.
• Conversion Deadline: Relevant enterprises must complete the transition to a CCC certification certificate and proactively cancel their corresponding self-declarations by December 31, 2026.

3. Grandfathering Clause for Existing Products
Products that were already manufactured and shipped within the validity period of their self-declaration and are no longer in production are exempt from this conversion requirement and may continue to be sold.

Conclusion and Action Required
Manufacturers, sellers, and importers of the affected products must treat this certification model update with high priority. We strongly advise you to plan ahead and initiate contact with a designated certification body promptly to begin your CCC certification application process. Ensuring completion before the deadlines is crucial for uninterrupted market access and compliance in China.
