Requirements for Certification Authority
The relevant designated certification authorities are required to adhere to the updated rules and the general implementation rules for CCC products. in They will develop detailed implementation guidelines based on the revised rules and submit these for approval to the CNCA. Only after receiving this approval, can they proceed with certification and issue certification certificates in accordance with the new rules.
Impact for Manufacturers: Transition of Existing Certificates
Certificates issued under the old rules will remain valid. The conversion of the CCC certificates will be completed through typical transition methods such as expired certificates, product change approval applications, and standards updates. This ensures a seamless shift without disrupting current certifications.
