CCC Certification by Chinese Authorities
3. July 2014There are several certification authorities responsible for certifying products for the Chinese market. Manufacturers of products with a CCC obligation are required to apply for the CCC certification with the responsible certification authority. After the application is accepted and approved, manufacturers will need to get their products tested in China by an accredited test laboratory and have their manufacturing facility inspected by the appropriate Chinese auditors.
