On June 23, 2021, Certification and Accreditation Administration of People’s Republic of China released Implementation Rules for the Compulsory Product Certification of Motorcycles (CNCA-C11-02：2021), effective from July 1, 2021.
In accordance with requirements, CQC issued Detailed Implementation Rules for the Compulsory Product Certification of Motorcycles (CQC-C1102-2021) to replace CQC-C1102-2014. Specific requirements for the new version of the implementation rules or detailed implementation rules are as follows:
1. Requirements for New Applications
As of July 1, 2021, clients should apply for certification in accordance with the new version of the rules. Based on the new rules, CQC will implement certification and will issue relevant certificates.
2. Conversion of Certificates
Continued usage of the valid compulsory certification certificate of a product issued before is allowed. The conversion work of certificates can be done by means of changing certificates upon expiry, renewing products and modifying standards.
For the addition or revision of the standards, as long as there are no new test items, certified products can directly update the certificates with no need for testing. Otherwise, the products need to take different experiments and can only renew their certificates after passing the tests. As for the certified products launched into the market before implementing the new standard but no longer produced, there is no need to issue new certificates according to the revised standards.
If the certified products implement specified standards, certificate holders need to finish changing or updating the certificates ahead of the time required by the certificates. Certification bodies shall suspend issuing certificates to products that fail to complete the version change. If the certificate’s version remains unchanged three months after the deadline, certification bodies will revoke the relevant product certificates.
3. Requirements for Reporting Testing Capacity
The relevant designated laboratories should report their testing capacity required by the new standards as soon as possible. It’s also suggested that a timely report and record are submitted for cases passing the certification of laboratories’ qualification under the new standards.
As of the standard’s releasing date, Product Department Ⅲ of CQC will accept certification application under new standards. Clients could submit the certification application through CQC’s website. For specific matters, please contact engineers from Product Department Ⅲ responsible for motorcycle certification.
MNCs and foreign enterprises of this sector, who intend to or have entered the Chinese market, are advised to check the difference between the two certification rules and make necessary compliance actions accordingly.
