Update on Chinese certification for IT/AV equipment
The China Compulsory Certification mark, CCC, is a compulsory safety mark for many types of products marketed in China, including IT-, Audio/Video- and Communication equipment.
During the past 10 years, the two Chinese national (‘Guo Biao’) standards GB4943.1-2011 and GB8898-2011 have been defining technical safety requirements for such products.
The UK government has announced a range of simplifications for businesses to apply new product conformity markings for most products placed on the UK market, i.e. England, Scotland and Wales. The ‘UK Conformity Assessed’ (UKCA) marking is a mandatory mark on certain products, to indicate that they conform to the UK legislation.
