Adjustment of the CCC catalog regarding Li-Ion batteries, power supplies and other products
On September 17, 2022 the General Office of the State Council of the PRC issued a new announcement on the adjustment of the CCC catalog. Lithium-ion batteries and power supplies/chargers with high safety risks will be included in the mandatory certification management (CCC certification), while mandatory CCC will no longer be required for 9 product categories such as data terminals, multimedia terminals, audio power amplifiers and other products with low safety risks and more mature technology (see Appendix 1).
The State Council hereby submits an opinion on adjusting and optimizing the compulsory certification procedures and conducting factory inspections before certification according to the “double random, one disclose ” method (Random selection of inspection objects, random selection of law enforcement inspectors, promptly disclosed to the public).
Other important topics of the announcement are the scientific and reasonable determination of the frequency of post-certification supervision and inspection in combination with factors such as enterprise credit status and product quality, national supervision and random inspection, and strengthening product consistency supervision and inspection. Vehicles and components must be awarded a CCC certificate in order for the products to be exported to China or manufactured locally.
Annex 1:
Products removed from the CCC catalog (9 types):
- active loudspeaker systems with one or more loudspeakers with a maximum output power below 500 W (R.M.S.) (0801).
- audio power amplifiers (0802)
- various carrier forms of audio and video recording, reproducing, and processing equipment (including various types of optical discs, tapes, hard disks, and other carrier forms) (0805, 0812)
- electronic piano (0813)
- cordless telephone terminal equipment (1604)
- data terminal (1608)
- multimedia terminal (1609)
- intruder detector (1901)
- controls for anti-theft alarm systems (1902)
Products to be included in the mandatory certification management (2 categories)
- lithium-ion batteries, battery packs and mobile power supplies used in electronic and electrical products
- power adapters/chargers for telecommunications terminal equipment.
If you have any questions regarding the planned CCC certification of any of these products, please do not hesitate to contact us. Currently there are no implementing regulations for the certification of the new products. However, we will be pleased to keep you informed.
The products that were previously subject to certification may qualify for voluntary certification in the future by the CQC. Please contact us if you are interested.
Team Event 2022 for MPR China Certification GmbH in Frankfurt
This year’s team event of MPR China Certification GmbH took place on September 14, 2022. After a long time of planning, a date was found where all members of the team from Germany could come together.

Under the helpful and instructive supervision of the professional chef from Ketao present, a wonderful 6-course meal was prepared in collaboration. The dishes were refined according to the recommendations of the chef, with magnificent results.
The event offered a lot of opportunity for exchange and there with an excellent atmosphere. The sociability and the gathering of all employees from Germany was a special and valuable experience for us all. We are glad that everyone enjoyed it and are grateful for the strong team spirit that prevails in our company.

CCC for electrical explosion-proof products in China
New CCC regulations for certain electrical explosion-proof products have come into force in China last year on 1 October 2020. The announcement came after a transition period of 1 year, which allowed companies to undertake respective change management to comply to the new requirements.
Among others, the list of new product categories that require CCC includes:
• Electric motors
• Pumps
• Switches, control and starter products
• Actuators and solenoid valves
• Surveillance and communication products (e.g. cameras or loudspeakers)
• Cable glands, junction boxes, connectors
• Refrigeration and air conditioning units, dehumidifiers
• Sensors (e.g. temperature sensor, speed sensor, position sensor)
• Safety barriers
Some of the products need regular CCC certification in addition to the CCC ex certification, f.e. electrical motors.
Each accredited Chinese authority releases their own implementation rules, which describe the process of testing, auditing, classification, etc.
These rules tend to differ from another, but all are fundamentally defined by the regulations given out by the CNCA. The certification process is supposed to guarantee the conformity of products according to the national GB standards, which define the methods and specifications.
Here a list of the relevant standards:

| 1 | Explosion suppression “d” | GB3836.1 | GB3836.2 |
| 2 | Increased safety “e” | GB3836.3 | |
| 3 | Intrinsically safe “i” | GB3836.4 | |
| 4 | Positive pressure enclosure “p” | GB/T3836.5 | |
| 5 | Immersion “o” | GB/T3836.6 | |
| 6 | Sand filling “q” | GB/T3836.7 | |
| 7 | “n” type | GB3836.8 | |
| 8 | Encapsulation “m” | GB3836.9 | |
