CCC: The CNCA Authorizes the CCAP to Conduct Complete Car Homologation

On March 24, 2017, the CNCA published its 33rd announcement for the year.
In the announcement they extended the powers of the CCAP (China Certification Centre for Automotive Products) in respect to the complete car homologation (CCC certification for complete vehicles).

The CCAP is now officially authorized to carry out the CCC homologation of entire vehicles for the Chinese market, even if the production sites are located outside China. Previously, the CCAP was not authorized to conduct homologations for Non-Chinese manufacturers.

With its 33rd announcement, the CNCA has now published its decision that the CCAP can approve foreign manufacturers and cars in accordance to the Implementation Rule CNCA-C11-01: 2014, thus allowing them to import their cars to China.

For car manufacturers this is good news, since this will open up more capacities and potential cost savings. The CCAP will also be able to certify small series approval for the import of small quantities.

The successful certification of complete vehicles is complex and requires attention to detail, homologation experience and close relationships with the certification authorities and tests labs to be completed in a timely manner. This is why a number of vehicle manufacturers such as Lotus, Tesla and Bugatti have relied on support from MPR China Certification GmbH / China Certification Corporation over the years.
