Hi Group,
I am reaserching China's regualatory compliance process and still have some
an-answered questions.
Here is that I found so far. There is a new sheriff in town and his name is
CCC. There was original list of 19 product areas, with some 132 product
categories. There are some obvious choices, such as PC's, modems and hubs. The
rest of it is kinda merky.
So at this time, there is a question in my company: do we need CCC for WLAN
products (wireless routers)? I did some search/research and came across UL
News letter from July 2005 (see below, if it will come through). In UL news
letter there are 22 categories and WLAN is one of them. So I contacted some of
the labs we are using in Taiwan and here are answers I receieved:
1.
Yes, you need CCC for WLAN.
2.
You need CCC for WLAN, only if you can turn off RF and product will
function
as HUB/router only. Smart, ah?
3.
No, you dont need, only if your products name consists of the word HUB.
4.
All of them, me icnluded, agreed that we need SRRC for WLAN.
Does anyone has some more or less definitive answers regarding CCC product
areas/categories and for WLAN specifically?
Any infromation on the subject will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Gandler.
start of UL quote:
"In May 2002, China introduced the Compulsory Product Certification System
(CPCS) and the CCC Mark,
replacing the Great Wall and CCIB marks for 22 product areas noted below.
Compliance with Chinese national
standards is required for these product groups, and most Chinese standards are
based on international standards
with Chinese national differences. Affected products include:
• Agricultural machinery • Low-voltage electrical apparatus
• Audio and video apparatus • Medical devices
• Decorative and fitment products • Motor vehicles and safety parts
• Detectors for intruder alarm systems • Motor vehicle tires
• Electrical tools • Safety glasses
• Electrical wire and cables • Security and protection products
• Fire fighting equipment • Small power motors
• Household and similar electrical appliances • Switches for circuit,
installation protective and
connection devices
• Information technology equipment • Telecommunication terminal equipment
• Latex products • Welding machines
• Lighting apparatus • WLAN equipment"
