China Releases Results of Second 2025 CCC Certification Validity Inspection
17. November 2025In an effort to enhance oversight of mandatory product certification and ensure product quality and safety, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) recently conducted the second round of certification validity inspections for 2025. The inspection targeted 3,001 batches across 23 categories of products subject to China Compulsory Certification (CCC), including household gas stoves, electric bicycles, fire extinguishers, electric wires and cables, small household appliances, lighting products, children’s smartwatches, electric blankets, and electric heaters. The coverage rate across certification bodies was recorded at 73.5%. Many products require CCC certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
Additionally, SAMR inspected 123 batches of low-voltage components and power tools that fall under the CCC scheme via self-declaration. Non-compliant manufacturers and their products have been reported to relevant certification bodies, which have been instructed to carry out risk assessments and trace the quality issues. A total of 1,557 CCC certificates have been revoked as a result of the findings. For products with revoked certificates due to serious nonconformities (as listed in the attachment), certification bodies will not accept new applications for six months. Likewise, producers of products with revoked self-declarations must cease production, import, and sales for six months, and conduct corrective actions as per regulatory requirements.
