CNCA Announcement No. 7 – CNCA appoints the “National Center for Fire Engineering Technology” as an official point of reference for CCCF

In their seventh announcement of 2017, the CNCA announced their decision to appoint the “National Center for Fire Engineering Technology” as an official certification authority for the CCCF certification. The “National Center for Fire Engineering Technology” may perform certifications according to the following CNCA Implementation Rules:

• CNCA-C18-01 Fire alarm products
• CNCA-C18-02 Fire protection products
• CNCA-C18-03 Firefighting equipment products
• CNCA-C18-04 Fire equipment products

Until now, the China Certification Center for Fire Products (CCCF) had been the sole entity responsible for the certification of fire safety products. The reason for the change is that the CNCA is working to optimize and simplify the certification processes. In doing so they decided to appoint specific certification authorities for the various certifications.

The China Certification Center for Automotive Products (CCAP) handles the certification of automotive components and the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) is responsible for virtually all CCC obligatory certification products. In the case of fire products there are now two certification authorities responsible for the certification, based on specific products. The decentralization of the certification authorities ensures a higher quality and a faster implementation of the certifications.

Before the National Center for Fire Engineering Technology was appointed as an official certification authority, a lengthy review was carried out by the AQSIQ. This review was monitored by the Ministry of Public Security. The Ministry of Public Security has finally approved the appointment of the National Center for Fire Engineering Technology as a certification authority for fire protection products.
