New CNCA Announcement Limits Accredited Labs for CCC Certification

According to CNCA announcement No. 16/2017 only accredited test labs can perform tests according to certain official GB standards for the CCC certification. As a result, companies like Zhejiang Lide Products Technology LTD can no longer test for CCC certification .

The key reason as to why Zhejiang Lide Products can no longer test for CCC certification is because they applied for a change of product scope, which meant that they adjusted some of their areas of business development.

Some of the areas for product testing no longer meet the mandatory product certification requirements. These requirements are based on the mandatory product certification bodies, inspection agencies and laboratory management approach. Subsequently, compulsory product certification testing in the product areas undertaken by the laboratory had been cancelled.

Specifically, this new announcement effects 7 areas of business. The first, is a variety of broadcast band tuned receivers and radios. The second area affected are all forms of carrier audio and video recording and playback equipment. This includes all kinds of CD, tape, hard drive, and other form of carrier. Thirdly, single and multi-speaker active speakers (with a total output power of 500W or below), audio power amplifiers, a variety of broadcast band tuner receivers, radios, all kinds of carrier form audio and video recording playback and processing equipment (including all kinds of CD-ROM, tape, hard drive, and other carrier form). Fourthly, a variety of imaging methods of colour television receivers. Monitors are the fifth area affected, whilst video recorders and antenna amplifiers (respectively sixth and seventh) are also affected.
