What is srrc certification?

China’s “Mandatory ID Card” for Wireless Devices

 

Have you ever experienced a new Bluetooth speaker failing to connect? Or a smartwatch bought overseas showing unstable signals in China? Behind these issues might lie a critical compliance hurdle—SRRC Certification.

 

How to get the SRRC Certificate in China?(图1)


As the "mandatory ID" for wireless devices in China, SRRC certification determines whether a product can be legally marketed. This article breaks down the core logic and practical guide of SRRC in the most straightforward language.

 

The "Three Core Questions" of SRRC Certification

01. What is it?

SRRC stands for State Radio Regulatory Commission Certification, implemented by the Radio Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). It is a mandatory technical complianCE certification for all radio transmission equipment sold or used within China.

 

In simple terms: Selling wireless devices in China without SRRC certification is illegal.

02. What does it regulate?

- Device Types: Bluetooth headsets, Wi-Fi routers, walkie-talkies, vehicle radars, drones, IoT terminals—any device that emits radio waves.

- Key Metrics: Frequency range, transmission power, spectrum bandwidth, spurious emissions, etc.—to ensure devices do not interfere with other radio services (such as aviation or military bands).

 

03. Who needs it?

- Domestic manufacturers

- Import agents

- Cross-border e-commerce sellers (platforms like Amazon, AliExpress, etc., may require srrc certificate numbers)

 

Core Certification Contents

01. Frequency Use

Ensure the radio frequency bands used by the device are legally authorized in China and do not cause interference.

 

02. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Devices must comply with national regulations on electromagnetic radiation and interference, ensuring they do not disrupt other equipment.

 

03. Device Safety

Ensure the device design and operation do not pose risks to users or the environment, such as overheating or electric shock.

 

Pitfall Guide: Top 3 Traps for Companies

1. Misconception: "Non-Mandatory"

Myth: "Low-power devices (like Bluetooth BLE) don't need certification."

 

Reality: Any device with radio transmission functionality must obtain SRRC certification, regardless of power level. (Clarified in 2023 regulation update.)

 

2. Common Causes of Test Failures

- Out-of-band Frequencies: For example, using 5.8 GHz for Bluetooth—prohibited for civilian use in China.

- Excessive Radiation: Smart home devices with poor circuit design may emit spurious radiation exceeding -30 dBm.

 

3. Cross-Border Trade Risks

- Overseas brands selling directly via cross-border e-commerce risk customs detention if lacking SRRC certification.

- Example: Over 2,000 uncertified smartwatches were seized at Shenzhen port in 2024.

 

Compliance = Competitive Advantage

SRRC certification is not just a legal requirement—it’s a mark of trust and product quality. In a booming smart hardware market where spectrum resources are highly contested, proactive certification can give you a crucial head start in market access.
