This is in response to a recent posting by Christian Marti on certification for China: "We are a US company manufacturer of TVSS:Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (SPDs: Surge Protection Devices).
We are selling these products in China, and if I am not wrong the deadline to get the CCC certification mark is May 2003. I wanted to know: 1) Is the CCC mark applicable to the TVSSs? 2) Which is the mark we should apply for (CCC EMC) or (CCC S&E)? So as it seems similar to the CE mark it seems we should apply for the CCC mark including safety and also EMC could anyone confirm that? 3) I tried to enter into the web pages www.aqsiq.gov.cn (all the information was in chinese) and in the www.cemc.org.cn this was only related to EMC. 4) What should be the initial steps and where to get some contact information?" Indeed, China has a new Compulsory Product Certifcation System. Your product must bear the CCC (Safety & EMC) mark by May 1, 2003 before it can be sold or marketed in China. Holders of the previous CCIB and CCEE mark certification must also apply for CCC conversion by May 1, 2003. There's a backlog of applications in China right now, as can be expected. There's also initial factory inspection. Please respond off-line or contact me directly so I can provide further details and pertinent bulletins.
