CQC introduces new Approval Document for Certification Marks
20. March 2025The China Quality Certification Center (CQC) has introduced a new version of the Certification Mark Approval Document, which took effect on March 1, 2025. This update aligns with the Action Plan for Strengthening the Credibility of the Quality Certification Industry (2024–2026) and aims to enhance the value of certified organizations. The new approval document will be available in electronic OFD format and includes key details such as the certified organization’s name, type and style of the certification mark, usage location, certificate scope, approval period, and a QR code for real-time verification. The previous version will no longer be issued after February 28, 2025. Certain products requiring CCC certification may or must be marked with a logo.
Additionally, CQC is launching a new certification mark registration management system. This system will now oversee the voluntary registration of certification marks for industrial and agricultural products, including organic products. The platform, accessible at www.cqcbz.cn, provides a centralized service for purchasing certification marks (CCC, organic, energy-/water-saving, CQC), registering printed/embossed marks, selling anti-counterfeiting codes, and managing CQC certificates. Organizations must register and receive approval before using the system. CQC has also provided guidelines for the registration and procurement of certification marks.
