China CCC Certification for Electronic & Electrical Products

China's Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark is the most critical compliance requirement for electronic and electrical products entering the Chinese market. Without it, your products cannot be imported, sold, or used in China.

CTI electronic & electrical labs, as the designated CCC testing labs for Audio & Video equipment, IT equipment, Communications technology equipment, Lighting products (Lab No. 16701) & CNCA accredited, are facilitated for providing CCC certification services and professional technical support for compliance and access to China market.

1. What is China CCC Certification for Electronic & Electrical Products?

Definition & Purpose

The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) is a mandatory safety and quality certification system administered by the CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration of China).

  •  Applies to: Electronic and electrical products sold, imported, or used in China.
  •  Ensures: Products meet safety, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), and environmental standards.
  •  Governing Body:
    • CNCA (oversees certification framework)

Who Needs CCC Certification?

  •  Manufacturers (Chinese and foreign)
  •  Importers & Distributors
  •  E-commerce sellers (Amazon China, JD.com, Tmall)

Without CCC:

  •  Customs will block shipments
  •  Retailers cannot sell your products
  •  Fines up to 200,000 RMB (~$28,000)

2. Is CCC Certification Mandatory or Voluntary?

Certification Type Status Consequences of Non-Compliance
CCC Mark Mandatory for listed products Fines, import bans, product seizures
CQC Mark (Voluntary) Optional (for non-listed products) No legal penalty, but improves market trust

Key Takeaway:

  •  If your product is on the CCC list, certification is legally required.
  •  No CCC = No market access in China.

3. Electronic & Electrical Product Categories CTI is accredited to provide certification services

Below is the table of electronic and electrical products with some examples for reference:

Product Category Sub-Categories (Examples) CCC Scope
Audio/Video Equipment TVs Full CCC required
IT Equipment Laptops, Computers, Printers, Power Adapters Full CCC required
Communications Technology Equipment Mobile Terminals (2G/3G/4G/5G), Fax Machines Full CCC required
Lighting Products Luminaires (Fixed/Recessed/Portable), LED controller Voltage-dependent (>36V)
Wireless Devices (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cellular) Wireless Routers, Bluetooth Speakers and other wireless products not included in above categories CCC not required
CQC (voluntary)
SRRC + CTA required

Note: Products not listed may still need CQC voluntary certification for market competitiveness.

4. Penalties for Non-Compliance During Market Surveillance

China conducts strict inspections at customs, retail stores, and e-commerce platforms.

A. Legal Penalties

Violation Penalty
Selling uncertified products Fines 3-5x illegal revenue (max 200,000 RMB)
Fake CCC marks Criminal charges + blacklisting
Safety hazards found Forced recall + public notice

B. Business Consequences

  •  Customs seizure of shipments
  •  Delisting from e-commerce platforms (Tmall, JD.com)
  •  Loss of distributor contracts

How to Avoid Penalties?

  •  Pre-certify products before shipping
  •  Work with accredited labs (like ours)
  •  Monitor regulation updates
