Regulatory landscape

CCC is the core compulsory mark for many product categories, typically with factory inspection and surveillance. Radio products need SRRC; devices connecting to public networks may need MIIT/NAL. Energy labels and China RoHS add substance and labelling duties.

CNCA / CQC (CCC), SRRC, MIIT / NAL, SAMR energy labelling and China RoHS rules.

Filing tip: Confirm whether your category is CCC-compulsory before quoting only ‘voluntary CQC’. Factory audit lead time often dominates the schedule.

Check these first

  1. Is the HS / product category on the CCC compulsory list?
  2. Does the product transmit → SRRC?
  3. Public network access → MIIT / NAL?
  4. China Energy Label or China RoHS documentation?

China certification FAQs

Is voluntary CQC enough instead of CCC?

Only when the product is not on the compulsory CCC catalogue. Compulsory categories need CCC — voluntary marks do not replace it.
