What the CCC Certification covers, who needs it, and how SZC-LAB tests and certifies your product for China.
China Compulsory Certification for products in the CCC catalogue - including chargers and adapters, and lithium batteries and power banks for portable electronics since August 2024.
Market context: Mainland China, Taiwan (China) and Hong Kong (China) each run their own approval systems.
For the product categories it covers, yes - the CCC Certification is required before products can legally be placed on the China market. Shipping without it can mean customs holds, marketplace delisting and retailer rejections.
The CCC Certification is only as strong as the test report behind it. We run the underlying work - EMC & Safety Testing and the related programme for your product - in our own CNAS & ILAC accredited laboratory in Shenzhen, then prepare the documentation the CCC Certification application is built on.

Lead time depends on the product, the standard behind the CCC Certification and whether factory inspection is part of the route. You get a concrete timeline together with your quotation - we reply within 2 working hours.
Typically: product specification, user manual, schematic or block diagram, critical component list and 1-2 working samples. We confirm the exact list for your product along with the quotation.
It depends on the scheme - some marks are valid continuously with periodic surveillance, others need renewal or an annual factory inspection. We track the applicable maintenance cycle for you as part of the project.
