What is 3C certification?
In December 2001, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the "Management Regulations on Compulsory Product Certification", which replaced the original imported product safety and quality licensing system and electrical product safety certification system with a compulsory product certification system. China Compulsory Product Certification is referred to as CCC certification or 3C certification. It is a statutory compulsory safety certification system, and it is also a basic practice widely adopted internationally to protect the rights and interests of consumers and protect the personal and property safety of consumers.
Products listed in the "Product Catalog for Compulsory Product Certification" include household appliances, automobiles, safety glass, wires and cables, toys and other products. Among them, CQC is designated to undertake 3C certification for 134 products in 17 categories within the scope of the CCC catalog. .
