New Announcement TC11-2021-01 for the automotive sector in China.

9. December 2021

In order to ensure the effective and proper implementation of China’s compulsory certification (CCC certification) in the automotive sector, the TC11 technical expert group published TC11-2021-01, the revision of the safety regulations for the operation of motor vehicles, on November 26, 2021. The publication concerns how to deal with the renewal of GB standards for products that have already been certified.
 

1. Standards for product certification of complete vehicles and vehicle components have been revised in accordance with the ” Announcement about the relevant requirements for revision of the compulsory product certification standards ” (CNCA Notice No. 4 of 2012) (see Annex 1 below).
   For new applications, the requirements during the transition period between standard implementation dates are explained:

• If there are no new testable parts, already certified products do not need to be retested, new versions of the certificates can be issued directly. For new parts subject to testing, appropriate tests must be performed before new certificates can be issued.
• For products already certified before the implementation of the new standards, which are already in market circulation but are end-of-production, new certification according to the new standard is not necessary.
• Certificates of products affected by new standards can be used for up to one year after publication of the revision of the technical safety regulations. If products are produced within the transition period, the certificates must be renewed according to the implementation dates specified in the new standards.
• If the implementation deadline cannot be met, consequences will follow for corresponding certificates according to the “Compulsory Product Certification Management Regulations”.

1. New standards for mandatory certifications have been added.
    
2. The new and revised standards will be implemented and enforced by the certification bodies after they have been submitted to the Commission for information.
    
   Affected companies should immediately check whether the products they manufacture are affected by revisions or new standard requirements and, if so, update the relevant standards on their certificates.
