Certification for Interior Parts
With the CNCA announcement no. 44, 2019 interior trimming parts do not have to be certified under the compulsory CCC certification anymore. However, manufacturers still need to ensure conformity to the Chinese regulations. A voluntary CCAP certification or CQC certification can provide a risk-reducing alternative for companies to ensure conformity.
Especially with Interieur Parts many issues and insecurities can occur and prevail with the new option for a voluntary certification. We are happy to support you here.
To determine if an Interieur Trimming Part can be certified under voluntary certification, several criteria need to be examined, such as:
- Size of the part (does the part meet the minimums size requirement to get CCC)
- Location of the part in the car
- Function / use of the part
It is best to always check directly with the Chinese certifying authority to see if a part can be certified.
Here is a brief video about the CQC and CCAP mark certification, presented by Julian Busch, director of
MPR China Certification GmbH / China Certification Corporation:

Service parts (spare parts) can also become relevant for a voluntary certification. There are special regulations for these products, so automotive suppliers should consult the Chinese certification bodies to check need. In addition, it should be discussed which plant is responsible to apply for certification.
For the certification, the interior part needs to pass burning tests according to the Chinese GB Standard GB 8410-2006. Testing must be done at a CNCA approved, accredited test laboratory in China. You can find more information regarding GB 8410-2006 here.
After the certification, the voluntary marking requirements for the CCAP Mark or CQC Mark need to be observed. Ideally, you mark the logo and the factory code where it is invisible when assembled in the car. Contrary to safety belts or safety glass, the marking should not be visible with interior parts.
We can check whether your interior parts can be certified under voluntary certification at no cost.
