CNCA: Amendment of the standard for CCC certification of low-voltage switchgear and switchgear assemblies

21. December 2023

On 9 November 2023, the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) announced a new version of the GB Standard for low-voltage switchgear and switchgear assemblies in  Notice No. 2023 (24). Switchgear and similar products usually require CCC Certification in  order to be approved for import and distribution in China.

GB/T 7251.2-2023 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies—Part 2: Power switchgear and controlgear assemblies) will replace GB/T 7251.12-2013 and will enter into force on 1 March 2024. As of this date, the CCC certification standard for low-voltage switchgear and switchgear assemblies will be changed from GB/T 7251.12 to GB/T 7251.2 in the corresponding mandatory CCC certification rules CNCA-C03-01:2014.

This revision does not change the scope of the CCC Certification Catalog. This notice obliges manufacturers of low-voltage switchgear and switchgear to carry out the CCC Certification Self-Declaration (CCC SD/ CCC-Self-Declaration) procedure and the updating of certificates in accordance with the relevant provisions in CNCA Notice No. 2021(4).
