Appendix 10. Compliance with China Compulsory Product Certification (CCC Certification) System
Appendix 10-1 Outline of China Compulsory Product Certification System
The Safety Certification enforced in China included the "CCIB Certification (certification system based on the "Law of the People’s Republic of China on Import and Export Commodity Inspection" and
"Regulations on Implementation of the Import Commodities Subject to the Safety and Quality Licensing
System" enforced by the State Administration of Import and Export Commodity Inspection (SACI) on import/export commodities, and the "CCEE Certification" (certification system based on "Product
Quality Certification Management Ordinance" set forth by the China Commission for Conformity
Certification of Electrical Equipment (CCEE) on commodities distributed through China.
CCIB Certification and CCEE Certification were merged when China joined WTO (November 2001), and were replaced by the "China Compulsory Product Certification" (hereinafter, CCC Certification) monitored by the State General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine
(AQSIQ) of the People's Republic of China.
The CCC Certification system was partially enforced from May 2002, and was fully enforced from May
2003. Target commodities which do not have CCC Certification cannot be imported to China or sold in
China. (Indication of the CCIB or CCEE mark has been eliminated from May 1, 2003.)

Appendix 10-3 Precautions for Shipping Products
As indicated in Appendix 10-2, NC products are not included in the First Catalogue of Products subject to Compulsory Product Certification. However, the Customs Officer in China may judge that the product is subject to CCC Certification just based on the HS Code.
Note 2
NC cannot be imported if its HS code is used for the product subject to CCC Certification. Thus, the importer must apply for a "Certification of Exemption" with CNCA.
Note 3
Refer to Appendix 10-4.
Application for Exemption for details on applying for an exemption.
