Time：
2023-12-08
The China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) has issued a notice on improving the management of mandatory product certification certificates and logos, which will come into effect on January 1, 2024.
According to the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) has issued a notice on improving the management of mandatory product certification certificates and marks, which will come into effect on January 1, 2024. The Management Requirements for the Application of Compulsory Product Certification Marks issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation in Announcement No. 10 of 2018 shall be simultaneously abolished.
1、 CCC certification fully implements electronic certification certificates; If the certification client needs it, the certification agency will issue an additional paper certification certificate. The valid paper certification certificate that has been issued can continue to be used, and it can naturally transition to electronic certification certificates through changes, expiration and renewal. Paper authentication certificates and electronic authentication certificates have the same legal effect.
2、 The production and use of CCC certification certificates and marks shall comply with the Management Requirements for Compulsory Product Certification Certificates and Compulsory Product Certification Marks.
Management requirements for mandatory product certification marks
Differences between old and new versions
01
The old version of the document stipulated that the ratio of the outer diameter of the elliptical long and short axes of the CCC logo was 8:6.3, and the specific graphic ratio is shown in the following figure:
The new version of the document does not change this requirement, but in order to facilitate standardized use, the above graphic proportions have been removed. Instead, the production enterprise can directly download the CCC logo vector diagram from the mandatory product certification column of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration website, and the size can be enlarged or reduced proportionally based on the product appearance or overall design of the nameplate.
02
The old version of the document stipulated that the CCC logo was divided into standard specification CCC logo and non-standard specification CCC logo.
The new version of the document stipulates that the CCC logo is divided into standard specification CCC logo, printed/molded CCC logo, and electronically annotated CCC logo, adding relevant requirements for electronically annotated CCC logo.
03
The old version of the document stipulates that the printing/molding method of the CCC logo can be enlarged or reduced according to the basic style proportion, but it must not be deformed, and ensure that the certification logo pattern is clear and recognizable.
The new version of the document stipulates that the printing/molding method of the CCC logo should be designed and produced by the certified organization based on the specific situation of the product. The logo should be inseparable from the product body or nameplate, and the logo pattern should be clear, complete, and independent. It should be added to the outer surface of the product or in a prominent position on the nameplate.
04
The old version of the document stipulates that only products listed in the catalog are allowed to have certified enterprises add special style CCC marks.
▲ Wire and cable products
When using special style symbols, the abbreviation "CCC" for "China Compulsory Certification" should be printed, and the font size should be suitable for the external dimensions of wire and cable products, as shown in the following figure:
▲ Motor vehicle brake hose products
When using special style markings, the brake hose body should be printed with the English abbreviation "CCC" for "China Compulsory Certification", as shown in the following figure:
The new version of the document has removed the above content and no longer directly specifies the scope of use of the special mark. Instead, for special products that require the use of the CCC mark through deformation, it is stipulated in the corresponding product certification rules.
05
The old version of the document did not make clear requirements for the CCC logo of standard specifications. The new version of the document has made detailed requirements for the specifications of the standard logo:
▲ The standard specification CCC logo shall be printed by a designated certification body, which shall ensure that the printing quality of the standard specification CCC logo complies with laws, regulations, and relevant national standards; There are identifiable anti-counterfeiting measures in place; The logo pattern is clear, complete, and resistant to wiping; The logo can be firmly pasted.
▲ The designated certification body shall truthfully record and archive the printing and distribution of the CCC mark in standard specifications, and trace it back to the production enterprise of the certified product.
▲ It is clear that the standard specifications CCC logo purchased by the enterprise can be used for all certified products of the enterprise.
The standard specification CCC mark should be applied in a prominent position on the outer surface of the certified product. If the certification rules have clear regulations on the application position, follow their regulations.
The standard size of CCC logo is divided into five specifications, as shown in the table below:
Note: A and B respectively refer to the length of the major and minor axes of the CCC logo's elliptical outline, in millimeters.
06
The old version of the document did not make clear requirements for the use of the CCC logo on products certified through self declaration.
The new version of the document clarifies that products listed in the "Compulsory Product Certification Catalogue" can only be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities after obtaining mandatory product certification (including self declaration) and labeling with the CCC mark according to regulations.
