China Updates CCC Standards for Automotive Components with New Versions and Additions
16. October 2025In an effort to enhance the regulatory framework for compulsory certification of automotive components, China’s TC11 Technical Committee has announced updates to the standards used for China Compulsory Certification (CCC). These updates include both the replacement of existing standards and the addition of new ones. The implementation requirements vary depending on whether products are newly certified, already certified, or impacted by technical amendments. Products certified under outdated standards must transition to the updated versions within a defined grace period. For revised standards that do not introduce new testing requirements, certificates may be updated directly. However, if new testing is required, additional inspections must be completed before certification can be renewed. Automotive components usually require CCC certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
In addition to replacing old standards, new ones have been introduced to reflect evolving safety, environmental, and performance expectations. CCC technical committees regularly evaluate whether recently published national standards should be incorporated into the compulsory certification system. Furthermore, any newly certified product must comply with the latest referenced standards from the date of implementation. Certification bodies are also expected to update their practices accordingly, and designated laboratories must possess the technical capability to test according to the new standards.
