標準簡介
中國強制性產品認證（CCC），又稱 3C 認證，是由中國國家認證認可監督管理委員會（CNCA）管理的強制性產品安全認證體系。該體系於 2001 年 12 月建立，2003 年 8 月全面實施，以統一的認證框架取代了原有的 CCIB（安全標誌）和 CCEE（品質標誌）制度。CCC 標誌適用於中國境內生產和進口銷售的 22 類 186 種以上產品，包括電器、汽車零組件、資訊技術設備、電信終端設備、玩具和安全配件等。
CCC 認證涉及工廠檢查、指定實驗室產品測試和持續監督稽核。認證過程通常需要 2-4 個月，要求製造商建立品質管理系統、提交技術文件，並通過電磁相容性（EMC）和安全測試。主要認證機構包括 CQC（中國質量認證中心）、CCAP（中國汽車產品認證中心）和其他 CNCA 指定機構。2024 年的最新更新將鋰離子電池和電動汽車充電設備納入認證範圍，同時豁免了九類產品的強制性認證。不合規可能導致產品在海關被扣押、市場召回，以及最高達產品價值 3 倍的鉅額罰款。
Mandatory for Market Access
Products in the CCC catalogue cannot be sold, imported, or used in China without the CCC mark — it is a legal market entry requirement, not voluntary.
Factory Inspection Required
Initial certification requires a factory audit by a designated Chinese certification body. Follow-up inspections occur annually to maintain the certificate.
In-China Testing
Product samples must generally be tested at designated Chinese laboratories (e.g., CQC, CCAP). Some mutual recognition agreements exist for specific product categories.

Who Needs to Comply?
Any manufacturer or importer placing products covered by the CCC catalogue on the Chinese market. Applies to both domestic Chinese manufacturers and foreign companies exporting to China.
Key Requirements
Product Testing
Submit product samples to designated Chinese testing laboratories for testing against applicable Chinese national standards (GB standards). Testing typically takes 4-8 weeks.
Factory Audit
Pass an initial factory inspection conducted by the certification body. The audit evaluates quality management, production control, inspection equipment, and traceability systems.
CCC Mark Application
Apply to CNCA-designated certification bodies (e.g., CQC). Submit technical documentation including product descriptions, circuit diagrams, component lists, and manufacturing process details.
Annual Surveillance
Maintain certification through annual follow-up factory inspections and, when required, periodic sample testing to verify continued compliance.
Penalties & Enforcement
Products without CCC marks are seized at customs and prohibited from sale. Penalties include confiscation of products and illegal income, plus fines up to 3x the product value. Repeated violations can result in business license revocation.
