What is the CCC Mark?
The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark is China’s newest quality and safety mark. Since 1989, the People’s Republic of China has had a safety licensing system, which included the CCIB mark (for products in 47 categories) and the CCEE “Great Wall” mark (for electrical commodities in seven categories). As the certification system grew through the 1990s, many companies exporting to China raised concerns about the dual certification systems, redundant testing, and different treatment of domestic and imported products. The CCC mark system merges the earlier marks, and it entails many of the same requirements as the previous certifications. China’s Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) oversees the new standards system, which was developed in response to the requirements of the country’s accession to the World Trade Organization.
