New GB Standard for Low-Voltage Switchgear

2. May 2024

As of the end of 2023, the Chinese State Administration for Market Surveillance and Administration (SAC) has published and approved a total of 468 new national standards. These also include an update of the regulations for low-voltage switchgear – Part 1: General principles. The underlying GB standard is known as GB/T 14048.1-2012. Many electronic products and components must  obtain CCC certification in China  in order to be imported and distributed.

CCC certification is mandatory in China for certain product categories. Products to be exported to China must first obtain a CCC certificate. This certificate is similar to the European CE system, which also serves to standardize the quality of the products.

For more information on how CCC certification, the CCC Self-Declaration and voluntary CCAP or CQC certification may affect your company, or for more information about CCC certification in general, please visit our News Section where you will find current updates twice a week.
