On December 7, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued a notice regarding the selection of enterprises for the second batch of the self-inspection and self-certification pilot program for radio transmission equipment type approval (also called SRRC certification). The document specifies that MIIT will once again select a group of radio transmission equipment manufacturing enterprises with relevant qualifications, good quality management levels, and credibility to conduct self-inspection and self-certification for SRRC.
Selected pilot enterprises, when applying for SRRC, can use their own testing reports as substitutes for third-party testing reports, except for special testing items such as network security. They may, under the premise of making relevant commitments, be exempt from submitting application materials related to their production capacity, technical strength, and quality assurance system for their own or their commissioned manufacturing enterprises.
The number of enterprises selected for the second batch of self-inspection and self-certification pilot program will not exceed 10 in principle.
Companies applying for model approval self-inspection and self-certification should meet the following conditions:
1. Registered within China as an independent legal entity capable of assuming civil responsibilities, with a fixed office space.
2. Possess over five years of experience in the production of radio transmission equipment.
3. Have a leading industry position in terms of production scale and market share of wireless communication products, own independent brands, possess independent research and development capabilities, and have a well-established production capacity, technical strength, and quality assurance system.
4. Have quality testing department or dedicated testing personnel for relevant radio equipment, an independent testing site, and testing equipment to conduct type approval tests. The testing results should be truthful, accurate, complete, and traceable, and the entity should take primary responsibility for self-inspection and self-certification reports.
5. Conduct business operations with integrity and comply with laws and regulations.
6. Have not received notices for rectification from radio management authorities or faced administrative penalties in the last three years.
7. The self-inspection and self-certification of radio transmission equipment do not involve special testing items such as network security.
Enterprises may be given priority consideration for inclusion in the self-inspection and self-certification pilot program if they have achieved a 100% pass rate in SRRC supervision inspections in the past three years, obtained recognition from the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), undertaken major national projects, and received awards or titles such as "National Technology Innovation Demonstration Enterprise" and "National High-Tech Enterprise" in the field of industry and information technology.
