On 2 April, 2024, the Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) issued the "Announcement on Clarifying the Requirements for Compulsory Product Certification (CCC) for Electric Drying Racks with Lighting Functions." The announcement stated that for electric drying racks with lighting functions, if the lighting component aligns with the description of "lamps" in the "Catalog of Compulsory Product Certification Description and Definition Table," then the product or its independently functioning lighting component must meet the CCC certification rules for lighting equipment and obtain a CCC certificate. Starting January 1, 2025, such products cannot be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities unless they meet the CCC certification requirements.

Previously, components integrated into a complete machine by manufacturers didn't require separate CCC certification if not sold separately. However, the CNCA's announcement now requires electric drying racks with integrated lighting functions to have the complete machine or the lighting component certified, possibly indicating a future change in this rule.

Overseas manufacturers whose components require CCC certification are encouraged to purchase certified products whenever possible or request their component suppliers obtain CCC certification for their products, so as to mitigate potential compliance risks.
