3C certification is a compulsory product certification system for some daily-accessible dangerous products (the most common is the risk of electric shock, so most of the 3C certifications are live products) launched by my country to protect the personal and property safety of citizens . This is also an internationally accepted practice. For example, the European Union has CE certification, Japan has PSE certification, and Australia has SAA certification. They are all compulsory product certification systems launched to protect the personal and property safety of their nationals.

The three Cs represent three English words: China (China), Compulsory (compulsory) and Certification (certification). Together, they mean "China Compulsory Certification".

The requirements of the 3C certification system:

The first is the implementation requirements. What needs special attention is that the 3C certification system, as my country's compulsory product certification system, is an integral part of our laws and regulations and has mandatory requirements. Any product listed in the 3C certification product catalog without being certified by the 3C certification body to be sold without authorization in the country is an offence, and the corresponding administrative penalty consequences and legal risks shall be borne. Relevant law enforcement agencies such as the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau, the Import and Export Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau have the right to seize and impose fines on unlicensed products.

As for the application requirements for 3C certification, as long as it is a registered business entity (including self-employed), the production plant has basic production conditions, and the product meets the requirements of relevant national standards, it can apply to the national certification agency in accordance with the law.

CCC certification process:

The 3C certification process for most products is: certification application → type test-first factory inspection → certification result evaluation and approval → post-certification supervision. The frequency of post-certification supervision (annual review): generally once a year, and the toy category is once half a year.

Of course, due to the many 3C certification processes, the complicated preparation of materials, and the lack of full-time certification personnel from manufacturers, many certification consulting companies are found in the market for certification, which is also in line with the direction of market specialization.
