In order to keep the validity
of CCC mark, the factory
need to be audited annually
during the expiration period
(5 years)
 China Certification-CCC
Key points:
• Critical components within CCC category must be CCC
approved. Power supply for PC or server must
be CCC approved
• Component list must be specific, “various” is not
acceptable
• Product without CB report need additional test, like
flammability test for boards and
plastic materials, battery protection
test, etc.

 China Certification-SRRC
SRRC general:
SRRC: State Radio Regulatory Commission
• Only can be tested in China mainland
• Each model should apply for the cert
• No factory inspection
• 1 to 5 years expiration, can apply to renew
• Mandatory for products with radio functions (WiFi, GS
M, CDMA, etc.)
 China Certification-SRRC
Introduction:

State Radio Monitoring Center (“SRMC”) currently is

the main authorized testing and certification institute for
radio type approval in Mainland China.
At present, China has set the special frequency range
in relation to the different types of radio transmitting
equipment, and not all the frequencies are legally use in
China.
 China Certification-SRRC
Introduction:

Furthermore, applicants should pay attention to certain

provisions of the radio transmitting equipment, some
equipments are subject to "Radio Type Approval
Certification" as well as China Compulsory Certification
(CCC) and / or Telecommunications Equipment Network
Access License (MII Certification).
 China Certification-SRRC
Definition:
Under  this  provisions, radio transmission equipment is
defined as all types of equipments for radio
communication, navigation, location, direction-finding,
radar, remote control, telemetry, broadcasting and
television that transmit radio wave, but not including
industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipments,
electric transport system, high-voltage power line and
other electrical appliances that radiate electromagnetic
wave.

terminals for the antenna
standard SMA or N-type is not acceptable
R-SMA is a good choice

2. For WiFi device with VOIP function should

get WAPI (Wireless LAN Authentication and
Privacy Infrastructure) first
 China Certification-MII
Introduction

MII-Ministry of Information Industry

The Information Industrial Department formulated "Telec
ommunication equipment To enter Net Policing method",
had stipulated explicitly “national implement type appro
ve system for telecom terminal device 、 radio communi
cation equipment and relate to internet devices which en
ter to public telecom net ”.
 China Certification-MII
General:
• Mandatory for telecommunication devices
• Three types of product:
communication terminal product
radio communication product
network inter-connection product
• Test including electrical safety, functionality,
protocol, information security, performance, etc.
 China Certification-MII
Certification sample:
Network Access
License for
Telecommunication
Equipment
 China Certification-MII

Key points:

• Require WAPI for WiFi devices

• Some types of product can not have WiFi

function, like wireless router

• Application for renew the certification should

be 3 months before the expiration date
