I. Starting from August 1, 2023, the designated certification bodies will begin to accept CCC certification commissions for Newly Included Products, and carry out certification work in accordance with the applicable standards listed in the Implementation Rules for China Compulsory Certification - Information Technology Equipment, and the annex. As of August 1, 2024, those enterprises that have not obtained CCC certificate and marked with certification marks shall not be allowed to leave the factory, sell, import, or use in other business activities. The directory of designated certification bodies and laboratories for Newly Included Products will be announced separately.
II. The scope of CCC certification for Newly Included Products is defined in the annex. Among them, the lithium ion batteries and battery packs used in electronic and electrical products are subject to CCC certification at this stage; for the batteries and battery packs used in other electronic and electrical products, CCC certification will be carried out in due course.
