CQC certification is what
China's national compulsory certification system (CCC certification) from May 1, 2002, for products included in the CCC directory to implement mandatory product certification, for products not included in the directory if you need to be certified, you can use the voluntary product certification, that is, CQC certification.
CQC mark certification is one of the voluntary product certification business carried out by the China Quality Certification Center to add the CQC mark to show that the product meets the relevant quality, safety, performance, electromagnetic compatibility and other certification requirements, the scope of certification involves machinery and equipment, electrical equipment, electrical appliances, electronic products, textiles, building materials and more than 500 products. The CQC mark certification focuses on safety, electromagnetic compatibility, performance, and limits of hazardous substances (RoHS), which directly reflect the quality of products and affect the safety of consumers' personal and property, and aims to protect the interests of consumers, promote the improvement of product quality, and enhance the international competitiveness of domestic enterprises.
CQC certification has two meanings, one is the issuing body is CQC (China Quality Certification Center) (it should be noted that most 3C certificates are also issued by the CQC); the second is different from the CCC mandatory certification, is a voluntary certification, that is, the national laws and regulations level is not mandatory for, is the enterprise resources for certification behavior.
Why for CQC certification?
CQC certification of the role of:
1, CQC certification gold is very high, and international certification synchronization: if the enterprise products to obtain CQC certification only need to do the difference test can apply for two certificates (and CE), greatly improving the international competitiveness of the product.
2, in the case of good and bad enterprises generated now, the enterprise product to obtain CQC certification means that the product to obtain brand assurance, CQC certification helps to improve the visibility and competitiveness of the brand of certified products.
3, in line with government bidding requirements, the product has obtained CQC certification in order to be eligible for bidding, such as street lights on public roads.
CQC certification product range
Including electronic products, household appliances, lighting appliances, tires, glass, low voltage appliances, pumps, wind energy products, generator sets, motor vehicle products, commercial equipment, auto parts, textiles, building materials, cement products, sanitary ware, batteries and batteries, student supplies and other 160 categories.
The CQC mark and CCC mark application process is the same, also through the network online and written two ways (mainly online network) to apply for the CQC voluntary product range of 160 categories. Products that are not in the CCC scope can apply for the CQC mark, which will help smoothly clear customs and enter the Chinese market, help companies improve product quality, become a well-known brand, and increase the competitiveness of products in the Chinese market.
Why do CQC certification?
In general, for CQC certification mainly for the following reasons: 1:
1. the product is not within the scope of 3C, can not do 3C certification, but the enterprise for marketing purposes and the urgent need for the authority to certify product quality is excellent, in line with the requirements of the relevant national standards, for CQC certification is a very good choice.
2. Government bidding requirements, such as the government bidding for street lights on public roads, often have CQC certification requirements, for CQC certification in order to obtain bidding qualifications.
3. the whole machine manufacturers to do 3C certification, need the upstream parts manufacturers to provide CQC certification, in order to get orders, the upstream parts manufacturers will be requested by the whole machine factory to do CQC certification.
CQC product certification model is.
Type test + initial factory review + supervision after certification, the basic aspects of certification include: application for certification, type test, initial factory review, evaluation and approval of the certification results, supervision after certification.
CQC certification information requirements
Instructions or specifications, circuit diagrams, PCB layout, description of differences (required when applying for multiple models), and safety-related parts list, the list of parts that have an impact on electromagnetic compatibility, CCC or CQC certificates for components, ODM or OEM agreements (manufacturers and factories are not required to provide both).
The CQC certification process for most products is:
Application for certification; Type test; Initial factory inspection; Evaluation and approval of certification results; Post-certification supervision.
Post-certification supervision (annual audit) frequency: generally once a year.
CQC certification procedures
Compulsory product certification process consists of all or part of the following links:
1. Application for certification and acceptance
This is the beginning of the certification process. By the applicant to the designated certification body to submit a formal written application, according to the certification and implementation rules and certification body requirements to submit technical documents and certification samples, and on related matters and the certification body to sign the agreement (and the application can be combined). Certification applicant can be the producer, importer and seller of the product. When the applicant is not the producer of the product, the applicant should sign the relevant documents on the implementation of certification and the producer of the product, the review of documents, sample testing, factory review, the use of the logo and supervision of post-certification arrangements. The applicant may also appoint an agent to act as an agent for the certification application, but the agent must obtain the registration status of the CNCA.
2. Type test
Type test is the core of the certification process, when the product is a special product such as chemical products, type test this link will be replaced by sampling tests. Type test by the designated testing agency in accordance with the certification and implementation rules and the certification body's requirements for specific implementation. Special circumstances, such as: larger products, transportation difficulties, etc., type test can also be arranged by the certification body in accordance with the requirements of the CNCA to use the resources of the plant. Type test in principle, a unit of a test report, but for the same applicant, different production plants of the same product, only one test can be done.
3. Factory review
Factory review is an important part of ensuring the effectiveness of certification, factory review by the certification body or designated inspection body in accordance with the requirements of the certification and implementation rules. Factory review includes two parts, one is the consistency of the product review, including the product structure, specifications, important materials or components, such as the verification, the second is the review of the factory's quality assurance capabilities. In principle, the factory review will be conducted after the completion of product testing. Special circumstances, according to the applicant's request, the certification body can also arrange for an early factory review, and as needed to make appropriate arrangements for the review of the person days. Authorized certification body of the management system certification of the factory, its quality assurance capabilities in the system part of the review can be simplified or omitted.
4. Sample testing
Sample testing is not suitable for type testing of a part of the product design and factory review of the consistency of the product is questioned, for the convenience of enterprises, sampling is generally arranged in the factory review, but also according to the applicant's request, prior to sending a sample, after passing the test and then do the factory review.
5. Evaluation and approval of certification results
Certification body shall evaluate the results of testing and factory review, make a certification decision and notify the applicant. In principle, the certification body from the date of acceptance of the application for certification to make the certification decision does not exceed 90 days.
6. Post-certification supervision
In order to ensure the continued effectiveness of the certification certificate, the certified products according to the product characteristics of the post-certification supervision arrangements, the certification and implementation rules make detailed provisions. It is worth mentioning that the post-certification supervision includes two parts of the content, namely, product consistency review and factory quality assurance capabilities of the review.
How much does CQC certification cost?
CQC certification and CCC is not the same, CQC belongs to the voluntary certification of products, CCC belongs to the mandatory certification of products. Speaking of which, the question arises, since it is not mandatory product safety certification I still why to go for?CQC certification is high gold, higher international visibility, many foreign manufacturers in the procurement of goods is not only need to look at the product CCC certification also need the product for CQC certification. Such as enterprises need to expand foreign markets then CQC certification or need to handle. Products for CQC certification more reflect the quality and safety of product quality, but also in the product sales into the market can also provide convenience.
First: the application fee;
Second: validation and registration fees;
Third: product testing and inspection fees;
Fourth: the annual fee;
Fifth: engineering inspection fees (i.e., factory audit fees);
As for the specific costs or need to be based on enterprise products and testing and certification bodies to decide, many so-called testing and certification agencies are no corresponding laboratory, they are taking orders to send products to partner institutions for testing, so that the cost of a round trip will naturally increase. There is another kind of so-called purse companies, such companies tend to blow a lot, in fact, what qualifications do not have. This type of company is the highest cost of certification.
In these five costs on the number of product testing and inspection fees are the most variable, fluctuating up and down. CQC certification fees are based on the test items to determine, so each product testing costs are not the same. There are also some manufacturers using raw materials did not do CQC certification, in the product to do the overall test requires no CQC certification of the material tested separately, the cost will naturally increase.
CQC and many well-known foreign certification bodies between the international mutual recognition of business, as well as extensive international exchanges, so that CQC has won a good
