CCC Self Declaration revised to CCC for Low-Voltage Components
12. April 2024On April 7, 2024, the CNCA authority publishedseveral major news regarding CCC certification in its Announcement No. 09/2024.
One of the most important developments is the revision of the CCC Self Declaration certification mode for certain low-voltage components. In future, these will be subject to the regular CCC certification process, which includes annual factory audits.
These low-voltage components were included in the CCC Self-Declaration category in October 2019. However, the CNCA authority has now decided to reverse this process. No reasons were given. However, we suspect that there were often significant deviations from the national standards in this product area and that changes to certified products were not properly notified.
CCC applications for these products will be accepted beginning May 1, 2024. Plants that already have CCC SD must have completed the conversion process to classic CCC certification with a factory audit before November 1, 2024.
Manufacturers of these products that only have CCC SD without an additional voluntary CQC certification will have to conduct new audits. As these audits require a certain lead time, haste is required.
Please see the list of products for which CCC SD will be reset to CCC certification as of November 1, 2024:
- Leakage Circuit Breaker
- Circuit breaker
- Backups
- Low-voltage switchgear (circuit breakers, switch disconnectors and fuse combination devices)
- Other Circuit Guards
- Relay
- Miscellaneous Switches
- Miscellaneous Devices
We will provide more information as soon as the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) publishes new implementation regulations for these products.
