Background and Date of implementation

1. GB31241-2014 was published on December 5^th, 2014;

2. GB31241-2014 was mandatorily implemented on August 1^st, 2015. ;

China regulates the use of a unified mark for compulsory product certification, namely “CCC“, that is, “China Compulsory Certification”. Any product included in the catalog of compulsory certification that has not obtained a certificate issued by a designated certification body and has not affixed a certification mark in accordance with regulations may not be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities. In March 2018, in order to facilitate the application of certification marks by enterprises, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration reformed the management of the issuance of CCC marks and issued the “Management Requirements for the Application of Compulsory Product Certification Marks”, which regulates the use of CCC marks. Specific provisions are made on the prerequisites, the specification and color of the sign, the location of application, and the timing of application.
On August 10 this year, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration issued the “Announcement on Improving Compulsory Product Certificates and Mark Management” again, which put forward new requirements for the use of the CCC mark. There are mainly the following changes:
The dimension specifications of the standard CCC mark have been added, and there are now 5 types.
Cancel the use of non-standard specifications CCC mark (deformation mark).
Added electronically marked CCC mark: the CCC mark is electronically displayed on the integrated screen of the product (the product cannot be used normally after the screen is disassembled).
The methods of using the CCC mark are clarified.
Below is a summary of the new version document.
The CCC logo pattern is oval. The logo vector image can be downloaded from the compulsory product certification column on the website of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration.
