Marking of the CCC logo

Before CCC certified products and products certified under the China Self-Declaration can be sent to China, they must be marked with the CCC logo according to the Chinese guidelines. Products under voluntary certification can be marked with a CCAP or CQC mark. The exact regulations for the marking are provided by the Chinese authority CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration). Since the Announcement No. 10, 2018 from CNCA, it is not required anymore to apply for a permission of printing. Thus, the preparation of the CCC marking according to the regulations is even more important. According to the Chinese regulations, the manufacturer has the right to choose the marking methods, however limitations or specific marking requirements may apply to specific product groups. It is recommended that the manufacturer discusses the proposed marking details with the certification authority during the certification process to understand what is acceptable.

Here is a brief video about the CCC certification, presented by Julian Busch, director of

Requirements of the CCC marking:

• If the marking is made through injection molding or laser gravure, the CCC logo and factory code (factory identification code: single letter + a six-place number code) must be on the product itself.
• For product marked with a label, the manufacturer’s name/ trademark and the model name must be added as well.

The marking can be attached to the products with the following methods:

• Injection molding
• Laser
• Print
• Gravure
• Press
• Unique label

Different forms of marking can be chosen apart from the above mentioned methods as long as they satisfy the regulations of the CNCA and they meet the readability and product specific requirements.

We can assist you with the preparation of the CCC marking. Even though it is not required anymore to obtain a permission of printing, the CCC marking still needs to comply with the current Chinese regulations.

Improper marking can lead to severe problems with customs.
