Revised CCC Requirements Reintroduced for Automotive and Industrial Goods in China
8. January 2026On January 7, 2026, China’s Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) issued Announcement No. 57, marking a significant update to the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) Catalogue. This announcement reverses the previous approach of allowing CCC Self-Declaration (SDOC) for certain products and reintroduces the requirement for full traditional CCC certification. A total of 16 product categories across automotive and industrial sectors are affected, including automotive seat belts, safety glass, indirect visibility devices, various electric tools, and arc welding machines.
According to the revised regulations, the SDOC standard CNCA-00C-008-2019 will no longer apply after December 31, 2026. From July 1, 2026, certificate holders must begin converting their existing SDOC certificates to traditional CCC certificates, a process to be completed by the end of that year. Additionally, new SDOC certificates will not be issued for the affected products starting from that date. Certification will be overseen by authorities such as the China Certification Center for Automotive Products (CCAP) and the China Quality Certification Center (CQC), based on newly introduced CNCA implementation rules. Guidelines for the conversion process are expected to be released soon.
