What Is CQC Certification?

What Is a CQC Certificate?

CQC (China Quality Certification Centre) certification confirms that a product meets defined quality and safety standards recognised in China. The certificate is often required for products manufactured in, imported into, or sold on the Chinese market, and it provides customs authorities and consumers with a verifiable record that the product has been assessed and approved by a recognised Chinese certification body.

How to Obtain CQC Certification

A CQC application typically follows these stages:

• Application: Sistem Patent Kalite files the CQC application on your behalf. The application identifies the product category, the intended market scope, and the standards to be assessed against.
• Product review: the product is reviewed against the applicable CQC technical specification. Documentation, drawings, bill of materials, and specification sheets are submitted for examination.
• Testing: where testing is required, samples are submitted to a designated laboratory. Results are issued as formal test reports that feed into the certification decision.
• Certification and issuance: once the review and testing confirm conformity, the CQC certificate is issued, authorising the product to carry the CQC mark.

Which Products Fall Under CQC?

CQC certification applies to a broad set of product categories:

• Electrical products: household appliances, consumer electronics, and industrial electrical equipment.
• Automotive products: passenger cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, along with their key components.
• Industrial products: factory machinery, production equipment, and construction machines.
• Food and chemical products: processed food, food-contact materials, and industrial chemicals where a voluntary or mandatory CQC scheme applies.

CQC Certificate Fees

Fees are quoted per product category, accounting for the required test panel, factory-inspection arrangements, and the number of model variants covered under one certificate. Ask for a quote once the scope is confirmed.
