Due to the still pending China Compulsory Certification (CCC) implementing rules for brake disc products for motor vehicles, a voluntary certification can be seen as an option for the preparation and implementation of future requirements for the mandatory certification, since in most cases the specifications are largely identical. For this reason, voluntary product certifications that have become mandatory can be converted into a CCC certification by the issuing Chinese certification organization. The effort involved is usually much less than starting a new certification application.
