CCC Certification

Export your product to China without any problems with a CCC certification

CCC is an abbreviation for China Compulsory Certification (Compulsory Certification China) and is comparable to the European CE system that tests whether products meet a certain quality standard. CCC was introduced in 2002 and applies to both Chinese and imported products. To avoid problems at customs, it is important that you have a valid CCC certificate for the required products.

CCC certification process

Applying for a CCC certificate is a complicated process that requires close cooperation with the Chinese authorities. The Dutch Chinese Chamber of Commerce can successfully complete this process in four months. For each CCC application, the Chinese authorities require a set of documents, sample products for testing purposes and a factory inspection may be scheduled. The process for renewing an already assigned CCC certificate is similar, but renewal usually takes less time.
