What is CCC certification?
The so-called CCC certification is China's compulsory product certification system, the English name is China Compulsory Certification, and the English abbreviation is CCC (referred to as 3C certification). As the national safety certification (CCEE), import safety and quality licensing system (CCIB) and China electromagnetic compatibility certification (EMC), "CCC" authoritative certification is an advanced symbol of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration, which has irreplaceable importance. All products listed in the compulsory product certification catalogue shall not be imported, sold in the factory or used in business service places without obtaining the certification certificate of the designated certification body and adding the certification mark according to the regulations. It should be noted that CCC mark is not a quality mark, but only the most basic safety certification.
