Hi Gary, The definitive list of what requires the compulsory certification in China is based on a list of Harmonized System (HS) codes issued by CNCA. HS codes are internationally harmonized commodity codes. I've only seen the full list in Chinese, but on it commodity descriptions like those below are matched up with HS code categories requiring the certification. The key is the codes themselves. Rather than relying on the commodity description, your best bet is to find out what HS code your shipping folks plan to ship the product under. On import, customs officials will be comparing that code to the CNCA list.
Hope this helps. -Fred Borda Compliance International www.typeapproval.com At PM 12:17 03/24/03 -0800, Gary McInturff wrote: >Information Technology Equipment (IT) (12 categories) >Personal computers (PC), Portable personal computers, Display units >connected with computer, Printers connected with computer, Multiplying >printer & coping machines, Scanners, Switching power supply units for >computer and adapters, Chargers, Computer game players, Learning machine, >Duplicators, Servers, Finance and trade settlement equipment. >And if inappropriately listed under Telecommunications Equipment >Data Terminal: >Storing/Transmitting Fax/Voice card, POS terminal, Interface Transformer, >Network Hub, Other Data Terminal. >I don't necessarily see LAN equipment under either - although Network Hub >could be, depending on the full definition. >Is Ethernet/LAN equipment required under the current CCC list to be evaluated? > Thanks > Gary > > >------------------------------------------- >This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety >Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list. > >Visit our web site at: http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/emcs/pstc/ > >To cancel your subscription, send mail to: > [email protected] >with the single line: > unsubscribe emc-pstc > >For help, send mail to the list administrators: > Ron Pickard: [email protected] > Dave Heald: [email protected] > >For policy questions, send mail to: > Richard Nute: [email protected] > Jim Bacher: [email protected] > >Archive is being moved, we will announce when it is back on-line. >All emc-pstc postings are archived and searchable on the web at: > http://www.ieeecommunities.org/emc-pstc Fred Borda Director Marketing & Business Development Compliance International www.typeapproval.com The experts in telecommunications equipment type approval across the Asia-Pacific region 4713 First Street, Suite 280 Pleasanton, California 94566-7362 USA Tel +1.925.417.5571 (direct) Fax +1.925.417.5574 Mobile +1.650.740.5762 [email protected] This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
