From May 1, 2002, China implemented the CCC Mark Certification for a one-year transition period. The authority governing CCC is called the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA). The new CCC Mark replaces two old systems, CCIB (for foreign manufactured products) and CCEE (for domestic manufactured products).

CNCA has published its first catalog, which includes 19 types of products covering a total of 132 categories.

All products in the CCC product catalog, whether manufactured by a foreign or a Chinese company, must comply with the same CCC implementation rules to enter the Chinese market.

The CCC Mark requires the following steps to be taken to accomplish the whole process:

1. Application made to one of the CNCA-accredited certification bodies.
   
   All applications must be made using the standard form or electronically with a Declaration of Conformity to Chinese standards.

2. Sample testing at one of the CNCA-accredited test laboratories normally assigned by the certification body to which the application was submitted.
   
   Product Safety testing: China (as a member of the CB Scheme) accepts a CB Test Report with China deviations. If the CB report does not cover China deviations (and a China deviation is applicable), additional safety testing will be performed in accordance with Chinese standards.
   
   EMC Testing: Currently there is no Immunity Requirements (EMS) except Telecom Terminal Equipment for which over-voltage/over-current immunity testing is required. If the product is Class A, applicant must declare the products as Class A device by submitting a “Class A Declaration Warning Label” before Emissions Testing takes place.
   
3. Factory inspection performed by engineers assigned by the certification body.
   
   If a factory that manufactures a product has never been inspected under either the CCIB or CCEE systems, factory inspection is mandatory before a CCC Mark is granted. The factory inspection typically runs two days. The certification body assigns a technical engineer and a quality assurance engineer to inspect the facility. Ten aspects must be inspected, including:
   
   1. Responsibilities and resources.
   2. Documents and records.
   3. Purchasing and receiving inspection.
   4. Process control and inspection.
   5. Routine tests and verification tests.
   6. Inspection and test equipment.
   7. Control of nonconforming products.
   8. Internal audit.
   9. Changes to certified product.
   10. Packing, handling, and storage.

   Details of factory inspection criteria are defined in the official publication of CCC Implementation Rules for each category of products.

4. Remittance of the CCC certification fees, including application, annuity fee, testing, factory inspection, and certification, etc.
   
   
5. Granting of CCC certification by the certification body.
