Brake Products such as brake pads will be Required to Obtain CCC Certification

10. October 2019

The highest-ranking Chinese market regulatory body State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced changes to the mandatory certification catalogue. Along with changes to the production licensing system, the authority also stipulated that specific brake products will also be required to obtain CCC certification as part of an extension of the product catalogue for mandatory CCC certification.

Several different brake products will fall in the certification scope in the future. These include brake discs, brake pads, brake linings and brake blocks. The applicable standard is GB 5763-2018, which was implemented on October 1, 2019.

The CCC process requires submitting application documents, supporting documentation, product tests at a CNAS-accredited test lab in China and a factory inspection. After a certificate has been issued, it is the company’s responsibility to ensure that the marking of the product with the CCC-logo conforms to Chinese regulations. An annual follow-up factory audit will also be required each year to maintain compliance.
