China Quality Certification - CQC Overview
 China
Quality Certification, abbreviated as CQC, is a voluntary certification
system is developed and administrated by the China Quality Certification
Center, China's National Certification Body under the IECEE CB Scheme
and the largest CCC Certification Organization in
China.
The CQC Voluntary Product Certification system, also known as the CQC
Mark Certificate, involves hundreds of products divided into over 50
categories. It should be noted that many product categories not covered
under the China Compulsory Certification (CCC Certification) may be
subject to the CQC Mark Certificate.
As the application process for CQC certification is similar with CCC
certifications, the general administrative rules, the application
procedure and approval process for the
CCC certification are applicable to the CQC mark certification.
Benefits of Having CQC Mark for Your Product
 A
CQC Certification Mark can facilitate the marketing of foreign
enterprises' products to the Mainland China market by certifying that
the product meets the quality standards required by the country.
If
the products are to be submitted for the CCC mark certification and
certain components of the products already have a CQC mark, the CCC
certification body will not require further evaluation on those
components.
For
products found in the new Catalog of the CCC Certification and
subject to CQC Voluntary Product Certification, no duplicated testing is
needed during the CCC Certification application process.
Validity of a CQC Voluntary Certificate
The CQC Center in China issues the CQC Voluntary certificate after it
reviews and approves the type testing and factory inspection results. In
general, the CQC certificate itself does not indicate a specific
expiration date. The validity of the certificate depends on the regular
intervals of the follow-up inspections.
