Voluntary CQC certification for heat pumps (dehumidifiers)

2. July 2020

Since April 2018, the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) launched a safety and energy-saving certification business for air source heat pump hot air drying (dehumidifier) units.

The CQC has two different certifications for heat pumps (dehumidifiers) in terms of safety and energy efficiency. The main test of safety certification is the electrical strength and grounding resistance of the product. The standard used is GB4706.1. Energy-saving certification is required to test the heat, dehumidification, input power and energy-saving evaluation values according to the CQC6402-2018. The heat pump (dehumidifiers) energy and safety certification is similar to the CCC certification, both of which require product testing, initial factory inspection and annual on-site follow up inspections after the initial certification.

The use of the heat pumps (dehumidifiers) in daily life is relatively common. It is used for crop drying, fruit nut drying, seafood drying, and herb drying. If you have any questions about the energy and safety certification of heat pumps (dehumidifiers), we would be happy to assist you.
