Core CCC Certification Process for Household Appliances

1. Confirm Product Standards

Different appliances correspond to different testing standards, such as:

①　GB 4706.1– General Safety Requirements for Household Appliances

②　GB 4343.1– Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standard

③　GB 17625.1– Limits for Harmonic Current Emissions

Engineers at China JJR Laboratorycan quickly match the correct standards for your products, avoiding errors that could lead to repeated testing.

2. Prepare Technical Documentation

Key documents required include:

①　Product manuals, circuit diagrams, BOM (Bill of Materials)

②　ccc certificates of key components (e.g., power cords, plugs)

③　Factory quality management system documents

3. Sample Testing

Testing items include:

①　Safety Testing:Withstand voltage, leakage current, mechanical strength

②　emc testing:Radiated emissions, immunity to interference

③　Energy Efficiency Testing:Where applicable

4. Factory Audit

CQC auditors will inspect onsite:

①　Consistency control of production lines

②　Incoming inspection records for key components

③　Finished product testing procedures

5. Certification and Mark Usage

After passing certification, a CCC certificatewill be issued, valid for 5 years (with annual surveillance audits).

Marking Requirements:

①　Must be printed or affixed on the product (minimum height ≥ 5mm)
