John, Welcome to the list server.
The answer, like most answers to regulatory questions is "It depends." You are mostly correct. You definitely need MII approval. For CNCA, it depends on the technical description of the equipment. For MII approvals, it should take between 3 and 6 months depending on the complexity of the equipment. The last approvals that we participated in took about 3.5 months. If you need any more information, you can feel free to contact me off-line. If you would like more information about China approvals, CNCA is sending several of their senior officials to put on two workshops on China approvals. One workshop is in Santa Clara on October 11 and the other is in Washington DC on October 15.

I am consulting with a company that is making a CO switch. They are planning to market the product in China. As I understand the process, I have to get MII and CNCA approvals. Is there anything else that I need to do for China? About how long does it take to get these approvals? Thank You, J.
