The CCC certification is a mandatory product certification system implemented by the Chinese government to ensure consumer safety and protect national interests. This system requires products to comply with national standards and technical specifications, and must pass mandatory testing and factory inspections. Products without a certification certificate or without the required certification mark are prohibited from being sold or used in the market.
In the automotive industry, CCC certification holds a pivotal position. As an essential condition for products to enter the market, especially for automotive components, obtaining this certification is a critical prerequisite for ensuring that the entire vehicle complies with regulations and can be sold legally. Component products must first pass the CCC certification before automakers can proceed with the application process for whole-vehicle certification. Only after completing this series of certification procedures and obtaining the CCC certificate does the entire vehicle qualify for sale.
