CCC Publication: Article about CCC certification published in German journal “Automobil Industrie”

With the ever growing hunger for foreign products and the money to pay for them, the Chinese market has become very important for the automotive industry. Understandably, nearly every car manufacturer is focusing more and more on getting their products into China. The only way to legally export a vehicle to China is to obtain CCC certification (China Compulsory Certificate).
The CCC certification process with the Chinese certification authority CQC (China Quality Certification Centre) or CCAP (China Certification Centre for Automotive Products) is needed to deliver to the Chinese market without restrictions. It is important to note that these regulations apply not only the certification of complete vehicles but also affect the automotive suppliers that provide components and spare parts for their customers in China. The relevant regulations are defined in the Chinese National GB Standards (Chinese: Guobiao), which identify the CCC requirement of the vehicle parts and what to which criteria they have to be tested. After the successful CCC certification components and spare parts can export their certified products to China without any risks of delay at Chinese customs.
On November 13th, 2013 Mr. Julian Busch, CEO of China Certification Corporation, has published an article about the CCC certification for automotive parts and complete vehicles.

CFDA: Changes in requirement for the approval of medical devices for the P.R. China

Certain medical products and medical devices must be certified and registered by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) before they can be exported to China. Until recently, CCC certification at CQC was also required for some of these products. The AQSIQ changed this policy with “Announcement 52” in April 2013, no longer requiring CCC certification (with the CQC) for medical products and devices as of May 2013. All certification for medical products and devices now falls under the CFDA certification and registration process.
This change affected the following devices: Implantable Pacemakers, Rubber Condoms, ECG Devices, Artificial heart-lung Machines, Extracorporeal Blood Circuit for Blood Purification Equipment, Hollow Fiber Dialyzers, Hemodialysis Equipment, Medical Diagnostic X-Ray Equipment.
