CNCA and SAMR confirm the adjustment of the CCC catalog and implementing regulations

3. November 2022

On September 17, 2022, the General Office of the State Council of the PRC issued a new announcement on the adjustment and simplification of the CCC Catalog. Lithium-ion batteries and power supplies/chargers with high safety risks will be included in the compulsory certification management (CCC) certification, while the formerly compulsory CCC will no longer be implemented for 9 product categories such as data terminals, multimedia terminals audio power amplifiers and others with low safety risks and more mature technology (see article: Adjustment of the CCC catalog regarding Li-ion batteries, power supplies and other products).

Until now, most information technology devices required CCC certification in China. The announcement of the simplification of regulations is divided into four sections:

1. 9 types of electronic products that are considered very low risk will not require CCC in the future.
2. the corresponding products will be removed from the implementing regulations CNCA-C08-01:2014 and CNCA-C16-01:2014. Implementing rule CNCA-C19-01:2014 will be removed in its entirety.
3. the scope will be adjusted by the authority and laboratories.
4. the competent authority will refrain from certifications of the affected products in the future.

This information is made according to announcement No. 34, 2022 of SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation) and announcement of CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration) on Oct. 11, 2022.

Thus, the new CCC catalog is effective immediately.
