China Certification Corporation at the Job Fair „jobmesse deutschland“ 2015 in Frankfurt

March 21-22, 2015, China Certification Corporation participated at the job fair “jobmesse deutschland” in Frankfurt, Germany. During these two days, candidates with different qualifications and backgrounds participated. The fair was located at “Kap Europa,” a new building in Frankfurt.

Many exhibitors, including Volkswagen and Frankfurt International Airport were also there looking for new employees.

In order to cater to the growing needs of clients, China Certification Corporation is expanding its team at the HQ in Frankfurt. The Chinese market is growing rapidly and China Certification Corporation needs to grow to meet demand. Manufacturers who want to import their products to the Chinese market often require a CCC (China Compulsory Certificate) certification for their products. This is a mandatory product certification required for a certain range of products.

In the automotive sector, car manufacturers and their suppliers who are currently doing the CCC certification for their products recognize that professional consultancy is very important in order to enter the Chinese market without problems. New and changing regulations can make it difficult to maintain compliance without professional assistance.
This year, 2015, China Certification Corporation is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. Together with seven subsidiaries in the U.S. and China (Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou), China Certification Corporation consults clients from all over the world.

CCC: CCC Certification needed for Steering Wheels

The CCC certification is based on two documents: The GB Standard (GB stands for “Guobiao”, or “National Standard”) and the corresponding Implementation Rules.

In our news section, we have recently informed you about the updates of the Chinese certification authorities. The largest Chinese certification authority CQC (China Quality Certification Centre, chin. „中国质量认证中心“) and the Chinese certification authority CCAP (China Certification Centre for Automotive Products, chin. „中汽认证中心“) each recently published their own version of Implementation Rules for the CCC certification of interior trimming materials. These new Implementation Rules apply for the interior trimming materials made of organic materials or organic composite materials which are installed in driving/passenger compartment and luggage compartment as well as some parts in engine compartment.

There are many new areas that will require CCC certification.

An important criterion to define whether a product falls under CCC certification scope is to check whether the interior trimming material fulfills the minimum size of 356mm x 100mm. If the interior trimming material fulfills the minimum size, then it requires CCC certification.
According to the new Implementation Rules, the steering wheel fulfills the minimum size of 356mm x 100mm and will now need to have CCC certification before entering the Chinese market. Even though the steering wheel was not included in the Mandatory CCC Product Catalogue before, manufacturers of steering wheels will now need to apply for CCC certification.

CCC: First Implementation Rules Published by CCAP & CQC Regarding the CCC-Certification

The Chinese Certification Authority CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration) recently published 15 new implementation rules for CCC certification of automotive parts. In January of 2015 the Chinese Certification Authorities CCAP (China Certification Centre for Automotive Products) and CQC (China Quality Certification Centre) published new implementation rules for CCC certification. The newly published regulations are more detailed than the ones published by the CNCA. Unfortunately, the implementation rules are only available in the Chinese language.

It is the responsibility of all CCC certificate holders and CCC applicants to understand and be in compliance with the most current implementation rules. There are many important changes that may need to be addressed by manufacturers. Some of the most important changes are in regards to new parts that will now require CCC, mandatory component part requirements, and new minimum size requirements for testing.

We prepared a detailed presentation in cooperation with the Chinese authorities which summarizes the implementation rules.
