- China Compulsory Certification (CCC, 中国强制性产品认证) is a statutory safety mark: products in the CCC catalogue cannot be imported, sold or used in China without a valid CCC certificate and the CCC mark.
中国强制性产品认证（CCC）是法定安全标志：列入 CCC 目录的产品，未取得有效 CCC 证书并标注 CCC 标志的，不得进口、销售或在其他经营活动中使用。- CCC is administered by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA, 国家认证认可监督管理委员会) and implemented mainly by CQC (中国质量认证中心) and other CNCA-designated bodies.
CCC 由国家认证认可监督管理委员会（CNCA）主管，主要由中国质量认证中心（CQC）等 CNCA 指定机构实施。- SAMR Notice 2025 No.57 shifts 16 product categories from enterprise self-declaration to third-party CCC; certification bodies began accepting applications on 2026-07-01, with conversion to complete by 2026-12-31 and full effect from 2027-01-01.
市场监管总局 2025 年第 57 号公告将 16 类产品的认证模式由企业自我声明调整为第三方 CCC；指定机构自 2026-07-01 起受理委托，2026-12-31 前完成证书转换，2027-01-01 起全面施行。- Foreign manufacturers must obtain CCC through CNCA-approved bodies — there is no “foreign exemption”; importers bear the clearance risk if the mark is missing.
外国制造商须通过 CNCA 批准的机构取得 CCC——不存在”外资豁免”；缺少标志的进口清关风险由进口方承担。- Customs (GACC) checks CCC at the border; missing or false certification can mean detention, return or penalties.
海关总署在口岸核查 CCC；缺失或虚假认证可能导致扣留、退运或处罚。- Build a “CCC checklist” into supplier due diligence: confirm catalogue status, valid certificate number, correct model coverage, and mark affixation before PO.
将”CCC 清单”纳入供应商尽调：下单前确认是否列入目录、证书编号有效、型号覆盖正确、标志加贴规范。- CCC is distinct from voluntary marks (e.g. energy label, CEL) and from food/medical device registration; treat each as a separate gate.
CCC 不同于自愿性标志（如能效标识）及食品/医疗器械注册，应作为相互独立的准入关卡分别管理。
Compulsory Product Certification (CCC) & Sourcing Compliance for Foreign Buyers | 在华采购的强制产品认证（CCC）与合规清单
Overview
When a foreign buyer sources finished goods or components in China, product certification is a quiet but decisive gate. A supplier may manufacture perfectly, yet if the product falls in the CCC catalogue and lacks certification, it cannot leave the factory for sale or cross the border for import. This article explains what CCC is, who runs it, the 2026 regulatory shift that just changed the rules for 16 categories, and how to fold CCC verification into a sourcing compliance checklist. It is the natural companion to our supplier due-diligence article.
What CCC is
China Compulsory Certification (CCC, 中国强制性产品认证) is the unified statutory conformity-assessment system for products touching safety, health, environmental protection or national security. Established under the Regulation on Certification and Accreditation of the PRC, it replaced the older CCIB and CCEE marks. A product in the CCC catalogue must carry a valid CCC certificate and the CCC mark before it is manufactured for sale, imported, or otherwise placed on the Chinese market. The catalogue spans electronics, IT and AV equipment, lighting, household appliances, automotive parts and safety accessories, wires and cables, tyres, fire products, toys, and more.
Who administers it
- CNCA (国家认证认可监督管理委员会, certification and accreditation regulator) sets rules, approves certification bodies and laboratories, and publishes the catalogue and implementation rules.
- CQC (中国质量认证中心) is the principal designated certification body; other CNCA-approved bodies cover specific scopes.
- SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation) issues the catalogue-adjustment notices and enforces market surveillance.
- GACC (General Administration of Customs) verifies CCC at import clearance via the customs declaration and the certification query system.
The 2026 regulatory shift (SAMR 2025 No.57)
This is the most relevant recent change for buyers. The State Administration for Market Regulation Notice 2025 No.57 (issued 2025-12-28) moves 16 product categories from the lighter “enterprise self-declaration” path to third-party CCC certification. The affected families include:
- Vehicle & safety parts: automotive safety glass, seat belts, external lighting and light-signalling devices, indirect vision devices, seats and headrests, tachographs, reflective markings.
- Circuit protection: fuses (熔断体).
- Small-power motors: small-power motors.
- Electric tools: electric drills, electric grinders, electric rotary hammers.
- Welding machines: DC arc welders, TIG/MIG-MAG welders, plasma cutters.
Key dates buyers must track:
- 2026-07-01: designated bodies begin accepting CCC applications for these 16 categories (self-declarations no longer accepted/generated for them).
- 2026-12-31: enterprises must complete conversion to CCC certificates and cancel the corresponding self-declarations.
- 2027-01-01: the 16 products require a CCC certificate and mark to be produced, sold, imported or used; prior self-declarations are uniformly cancelled.
Practical effect: if you source any of these items, a self-declaration that was acceptable in 2025 is not sufficient from July 2026 onward — insist on a full third-party CCC certificate.
Foreign manufacturers & importers
There is no foreign exemption. A product made overseas for the China market must still obtain CCC through a CNCA-approved body (foreign factories apply via the same designated bodies; CQC and others accept overseas manufacturer applications and may conduct factory inspections). The importer carries the clearance risk: customs will query the CCC database, and a missing or mismatched certificate blocks release. Plan lead time — certification plus factory inspection can take weeks to months depending on product complexity.
Customs interface
At the border, GACC cross-checks the declaration against the CCC certificate database. Missing certification → goods detained or returned; falsified certificate → penalties and potential market-regulation enforcement. Some products also need a CCC exemption (免办) for temporary import, R&D, or parts used in exported finished goods — applied for through the competent authority, not assumed.
Folding CCC into supplier due diligence
Add a standing CCC gate to your onboarding packet:
- Catalogue check — is the HS code / product type in the current CCC catalogue?
- Certificate validity — valid CCC number, not expired, not revoked; verify on the CNCA/CQC query system.
- Model coverage — the certificate must cover the exact model/variant you buy (minor revisions can fall outside).
- Mark affixation — the CCC mark must be physically applied per rules.
- Traceability — keep the certificate on file and re-check at each renewal.
- Separate the gates — energy-efficiency labels, radio-model (SRRC), network-access (NAL), food/cosmetic/medical-device registration are distinct from CCC; manage each.
What to do next
- Screen your China-sourced SKUs against the current CCC catalogue now; flag the 16 newly-shifted categories.
- For the 16 categories, require a full third-party CCC certificate (not self-declaration) on POs from 2026-07-01; convert by 2026-12-31.
- Verify every certificate on the CNCA/CQC public query before accepting goods.
- Build the CCC gate into the supplier onboarding checklist alongside credit, litigation and AEO checks.
- For temporary/export-only imports, apply for 免办 (CCC exemption) through the proper channel rather than assuming it.

在华采购的强制产品认证（CCC）与合规清单
概述
当外资采购方在中国采购成品或零部件时，产品认证是一道低调却决定性的关卡。供应商可能生产得毫无瑕疵，但若产品落入 CCC 目录却未获认证，它既不能出厂销售，也无法通关进口。本文说明 CCC 是什么、由谁主管、2026 年刚改变 16 类产品规则的监管调整，以及如何把 CCC 核验纳入采购合规清单。它是本库”供应商尽调”文章的自然搭档。
CCC 是什么
中国强制性产品认证（China Compulsory Certification, CCC）是针对涉及安全、健康、环保或国家安全的产品建立的统一法定合格评定制度，依《中华人民共和国认证认可条例》设立，取代了此前的 CCIB 与 CCEE 标志。列入 CCC 目录的产品，须取得有效 CCC 证书并加贴 CCC 标志，方可生产销售、进口或进入中国市场。目录涵盖电子电器、音视频与 IT 设备、照明、家电、汽车零件与安全附件、电线电缆、轮胎、消防产品、玩具等。
由谁主管
- CNCA（国家认证认可监督管理委员会）制定规则、批准认证机构与实验室，并发布目录与实施规则。
- CQC（中国质量认证中心）是主要的指定认证机构；其他 CNCA 批准的机构覆盖特定范围。
- SAMR（国家市场监督管理总局）发布目录调整公告并实施市场监督。
- GACC（海关总署）在进口通关环节通过报关与认证核查系统验证 CCC。
2026 年监管调整（总局 2025 年第 57 号）
这是对采购方最相关的近期变化。市场监管总局 2025 年第 57 号公告（2025-12-28 发布）将 16 类产品由较轻的”企业自我声明”路径调整为第三方 CCC 认证。涉及品类包括：
- 车辆及安全附件：汽车安全玻璃、汽车安全带、机动车外部照明及光信号装置、机动车辆间接视野装置、汽车座椅及座椅头枕、汽车行驶记录仪、车身反光标识。
- 电路开关及保护：熔断体。
- 小功率电动机：小功率电动机。
- 电动工具：电钻、电动砂轮机、电锤。
- 电焊机：直流弧焊机、TIG/MIG-MAG 弧焊机、等离子弧切割机。
采购方须关注的节点：
- 2026-07-01：指定机构开始受理这 16 类产品的 CCC 委托（不再接受/生成相关自我声明）。
- 2026-12-31：企业须完成 CCC 证书转换并主动注销相应自我声明。
- 2027-01-01：这 16 类产品须取得 CCC 证书并标注标志方可生产、销售、进口或使用；原自我声明统一注销。
实务影响：若你采购上述任一类产品，2025 年尚可接受的自我声明自 2026 年 7 月起不再充分——必须要求完整的第三方 CCC 证书。
外国制造商与进口方
不存在外资豁免。为面向中国市场生产而制造的境外产品，仍须通过 CNCA 批准的机构取得 CCC（外国工厂向同一批指定机构申请；CQC 等接受境外制造商申请并可实施工厂检查）。进口方承担清关风险：海关将比对 CCC 数据库，证书缺失或不符将阻断放行。需预留周期——认证加工厂检查依产品复杂度可能耗时数周至数月。
与海关的接口
在口岸，海关总署将报关与 CCC 证书数据库交叉核对。认证缺失 → 货物被扣留或退运；证书造假 → 处罚并可能触发市场监管执法。部分产品（临时进口、研发、用于出口成品的零部件）可申请 CCC 免办，须通过主管部门办理，不可想当然。
把 CCC 纳入供应商尽调
在准入包中加入常设 CCC 关卡：
- 目录核查——该 HS 编码/产品类型是否列入现行 CCC 目录？
- 证书有效性——CCC 编号有效、未过期、未撤销；在 CNCA/CQC 查询系统核验。
- 型号覆盖——证书须覆盖你采购的确切型号/变体（微小改动可能不在范围内）。
- 标志加贴——CCC 标志须按规则实物加贴。
- 可追溯——留存证书并在每次续证时复核。
- 分而治之——能效标识、无线电型号核准（SRRC）、入网许可（NAL）、食品/化妆品/医疗器械注册均不同于 CCC，须分别管理。
下一步建议
- 立即将你在华采购的 SKU 与现行 CCC 目录比对，标出 16 类新调整品类。
- 对这 16 类，自 2026-07-01 起在订单中要求完整第三方 CCC 证书（非自我声明）；2026-12-31 前完成转换。
- 收货前在 CNCA/CQC 公开查询核验每一份证书。
- 将 CCC 关卡与信用、诉讼、AEO 核查一并纳入供应商准入清单。
- 对临时进口/仅出口产品，通过正规渠道申请 CCC 免办，而非想当然豁免。
