CCC (China Compulsory Certification) is the most widely recognized mandatory product certification in China. It covers both electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and product safety requirements for regulated products. If your product is listed in the CCC product catalog, certification is required by law in order to import, sell, or distribute it in the Chinese market.
📌 Chinese Customs strictly enforces CCC compliance and will block imports lacking a valid CCC certificate.
📦 Which Products Require CCC?
Currently, 22 major product categories are covered under the CCC system, including but not limited to:
- Information technology equipment
- Telecom terminal products
- Household appliances
- Motor vehicles and motorcycles
- Safety glass and lighting apparatus
- Medical electrical devices
- Wires, cables, and power tools
A detailed catalog is published and regularly updated by the Chinese authorities.
🛠️ CCC Application Process
The CCC certification process includes:
- Application submission to an authorized certification body (such as the China Quality Certification Centre, CQC)
- In-country product testing at accredited Chinese laboratories
- Factory inspection for initial certification
- Document review and approval by CQC
- Issuance of the CCC certificate (valid for up to 5 years)
It’s a complex and time-sensitive process, particularly for foreign manufacturers unfamiliar with the regulatory system.
⚠️ CCC Exemption
Certain products may be exempt from CCC certification, including:
- Product samples for R&D, exhibitions, or internal testing
- Small-quantity imports (under special conditions)
However, an exemption application must still be submitted and approved. TianHeng Consulting can assist you in applying for CCC exemption.

📄 CCC Conclusion Letter (Non-CCC Confirmation)
Not sure whether your product is in the CCC catalog?
We can help you obtain a CCC Conclusion Letter, which is an official statement from authorities confirming that your product does not fall under the CCC scope. This is especially helpful in cases where classification is unclear or borderline.
