What is CCC Self-Declaration?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The China Compulsory Certificate Self-Declaration is a mandatory certification for certain specific products in China. It is a different format of the CCC certification<\/a><\/u> and requires a different certification process than the standard CCC certification process. It is important to note that CCC Self-Declaration is only possible for certain types of product categories and is not interchangeable with products that require CCC. Also, products that are required to have CCC Self-Declaration cannot apply for the standard CCC certification. They are two different types of certifications and have separate processes. The CCC Self-Declaration is also often known as China Self-Declaration, CCC Declaration of Compliance (DoC), CCC Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC), CCC Self-Declaration of Compulsory Product Certification, CCC Self-Declaration Certification. With the CCC Self-Declaration, the manufacturer declares that their manufactured products comply with the GB standards<\/a> and that product conformity is continuously ensured and maintained in accordance with Chinese regulations. Products subject to CCC Self-Declaration may be sold or used in the Chinese market only after the Self-Declaration has been issued.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CCC SDoC is like a slimmer format of the standard CCC certification with applications, supporting documentation and testing. Unlike the standard CCC certification initial factory audits and annual audits are not required for CCC Self-Declaration. Due to this, manufacturers and applicants have a significantly higher risk since product conformity is not continuously monitored by the authorities. Simple “non-conformities” or regulation changes can be identified by the authorities during spot checks and may stop production and imports or even cause revocation of the certificates. OEMs and manufacturers will often require third party oversight by a recognized certification body such as the CCAP or CQC to prove initial and annual compliance to the Chinese regulations with an additional voluntary CCAP or voluntary CQC certification. In the automotive industry this oversight is often required to be shown as part of their vehicle Type Approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another difference between CCC Self-Declaration and standard CCC is that the applicant for CCC Self-Declaration must be a company registered in China. This company can be a subsidiary, the OEM or the importer. The Chinese company will take responsibility for the products. The CCC Self-Declaration is registered and issued via an online portal of the CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China). CCC Self-Declaration can be complex. Many manufacturers choose to have a competent independent service provider who accompany them in the certification process.<\/p>\n\n\n

The CNCA Implementation Rules<\/strong> no. CNCA-00C-008: 2019<\/strong> applies to the CCC Self-Declaration along with the respective CNCA implementation regulations for the individual component category.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\n

A Chinese Applicant is required for CCC Self-Declaration:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CCC Self-Declaration is registered with the Chinese certification authority Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (chin.: \u4e2d\u534e\u4eba\u6c11\u5171\u548c\u56fd\u8ba4\u8bc1\u76d1\u7763\u59d4\u5458\u4f1a, in short: CNCA) through an online system. It is required that the applicant must be a company registered in China. Manufacturers who do not have a subsidiary or company that can serve as an applicant in China have the possibility to contract a Chinese company as the applicant. The Chinese partner can then serve as the applicant for the CCC Self-Declaration and submit the necessary documents for the application. Through this applicant, several production plant locations can then be registered for the CCC Self-Declaration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPR China Certification offers their clients the a Chinese entity that is a technically appropriate applicant via its CCC Applicant Service. This service is aimed for those companies who do not have a registered company in China that could act as their applicant. Please contact us if you need support in this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCC Self-Declaration Product Categories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Products that fall under CCC Self-Declaration are divided into two types: Type A and Type B. The type distinctions are important for product testing. They distinguish whether the product tests must be conducted in a self-selected test laboratory or in a specified accredited test laboratory in China.<\/p>\n\n\n

\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Type A:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Product testing in self-selected laboratories* + self-declaration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

*internal, third party laboratory with ISO 17025 certification<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Type B:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Product testing in specified laboratories* + self-declaration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

*test laboratories with CCC authorization\/ accredited by the Chinese authority CNAS<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\n
