The so-called CCC certification is China's compulsory product certification system, the English name China Compulsory Certification, the English abbreviation CCC (referred to as 3C certification). As a three-in-one "CCC" authoritative certification of National Safety Certification (CCEE), Import Safety and Quality Licensing System (CCIB), and China Electromagnetic Compatibility Certification (EMC) Logos have irreplaceable importance. All products listed in the 3C certification product catalog without being certified by the 3C certification agency and sold privately in the country are all illegal acts, and they must bear the corresponding administrative penalties and legal risks.
Certification Significance
The necessity of CCC certification
1. 3C certification is a compulsory certification and a pass to enter the domestic market; CCC is a domestic compulsory certification. If it is sold in China, it mainly depends on whether your company's products are in the 3C compulsory catalogue. If so, you must do 3C certification. Enterprises with 3C certification can improve the recognition of enterprise products. If the product is exported, there is a 3C certification mark, which can reduce some items of export inspection.
2. Products and enterprises with 3C certification are easy to be recognized, enhance customer confidence, shape corporate image and increase popularity. It is not easy to buy products without 3C certification.
3. Since CCC certification is a third-party testing agency that is independent of the first party (supplier) and the second party (purchaser), through strict inspection and inspection, it is a part of issuing authoritative certificates for the compliance of products. A fair and scientific quality system, in line with the laws of the market economy, can bring direct economic benefits to both sides of the trade.
4. The CCC certification and CCC certification mark obtained by the enterprise are an important manifestation of corporate culture and quality culture. Striving for the CCC certification mark and producing high-quality products are not only material achievements, but also spiritual products and the crystallization of corporate culture.

· Certification processing cycle
The 3C certification processing cycle generally takes about 2 months.
· Certificate validity
The 3C certification is valid for five years. During the validity period of the five-year certificate, as long as the manufacturer accepts the annual factory inspection (annual audit) every year.
· 3C derivation
3C derivation is to meet the needs of independent 3C certificates by manufacturers' distributors or partners. The cost of derivation of sub-certificates is low, the processing time is only 2-3 weeks, and the cost is greatly saved, and there is no need to re-test and audit the factory.
Note: The factory information on the certificate cannot be changed, the main certificate is suspended or cancelled, and the secondary certificate will also be invalid.
· Imported products apply for 3C certification
Products and goods that are in the 3C certification catalogue for commercial use in sales or profit-making activities need to apply for 3C certification. For civilian purposes, such as scientific research, exhibition, teaching, samples, etc., you can apply for exemption from 3C certification.
Since 3C certification requires factory inspection, the cost of 3C certification for imported products will be much higher.
