National standard It refers to the approval and promulgation of the national standardization authority, Technological development It has great significance and uniform standards across the country. National standards are uniform throughout the country Technical requirement , standardized by The State Council Administrative department Prepare the plan, coordinate the project division of labor, organize the formulation (including revision), and unify the approval, numbering and release. Where the law provides otherwise for the formulation of national standards, the provisions of the law shall prevail. The duration of the national standard is generally 5 years, after which the national standard is revised or reformulated. Besides, with the development of society, National needs Develop new standards to meet the needs of people's production and life. Therefore, the standard is kind Dynamic information .
National standards are divided into mandatory national standards ( GB ) and recommended national standards ( GB/T ). The number of the national standard is issued by the code name of the national standard or the national standard Serial number And the year number issued by the national standard (using the last two digits of the year issued). The mandatory national standard is the guarantee Human health Standards and laws for the safety of persons and property, and Administrative regulations stipulate enforce The national standard; Recommended national standard refers to the production, exchange, use and other aspects, passed Economic means or Market regulation And voluntary adoption of national standards. However, once the recommended national standard is accepted and adopted, or the parties agree to include it Economic contract It becomes the technical basis that all parties must abide by and is legally binding.

According to the type of certification, China's current product certification can be divided into: National mandatory product certification And non-mandatory product certification.

Compulsory certification

Mandatory product certification system In order to protect the safety of consumers and the lives of animals and plants, Protect the environment To protect national security, according to Laws and regulations Implementation of a product Conformity assessment System, which requires that products must meet national standards and Technical regulations . Mandatory product certification It is through the development of mandatory product certification of the product catalog and the implementation of mandatory products Certification program The implementation of mandatory testing and auditing of products included in the Catalogue. Wherever included Mandatory product certification directory Within the product, there is no designated certification body Certification certificate Without the application of certification marks in accordance with the provisions, it shall not be imported, may not be sold out of the factory and used in business services.
China compulsory product certification , also known as China compulsory certification (English: C hina C ompulsory C ertification, short for CCC , can also be referred to as the "3C" logo), is People's Republic of China Implementation of national standards, is General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China ( AQSIQ ) and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China (CNCA) issued on 3 December 2001. Mandatory product certification management provisions "( Order of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine No. 5) Enacted by the CNCA and implemented on 1 May 2002. According to The State Council authorized the newly established national "Accreditation Administration" Job function Implement a mandatory product certification system. This system requires product certification to be accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC Guideline 65 and should be authorized by the government. Accreditation Commission on products Mandatory certification A new unified "China Certification" logo will be used ( CCC mark ), the implementation of internal and external consistent new certification fee standards to further rectify and standardize the market. AQSIQ Has authorized China import and export quality Certification center (CQC) to carry out product certification (CCC mark) related work. At the same time, CQC carries out non-mandatory product certification in accordance with ISO/IEC Guideline 65 assessment and accreditation. CQC is the National Quality Inspection Administration according to the" Law of the People's Republic of China on Import and Export Commodity Inspection Professional certification bodies with third-party impartiality set up by "and its Implementing Regulations". The CQC branch is on board International certification federation ( IQNET ) and International electrotechnical commission Electrical Products Conformity Testing and Certification Organization ( IECEE And became China's National Certification Body (NCB).

non-mandatory

Non-mandatory product certification is the certification of products not listed in the national certification catalogue, is a voluntary behavior of enterprises, known as "voluntary product certification". The recently approved CECC (China Electricity Union Certification Center) is the representative of the power industry for electromechanical products Voluntary certification the Third party agency , yes China Electricity Council Belonging only can be carried out simultaneously System certification And mechanical and electrical product certification institutions, product certification covers 20 categories Electric power industry Products required.

The main contents of product certification assessment are: impartiality ; Legal status ; Competence (product certification requires professional competence) and Quality system . Adopted by China Product certification system It mainly includes four basic elements: quality system (environmental system) inspection and evaluation; Type inspection ; Supervision, inspection and Supervision and inspection . The first two elements are necessary to obtain product certification Basic condition The last two elements are the supervision measures after product certification.

Type inspection approval

Type inspection for certification purposes is carried out by a certification body on one or more of the products representativeness The process of proving, through a series of tests and reasonable evaluation, whether the tested sample meets its corresponding standards. It is the product Safety certification The first important link. The type inspection is based on the relevant national standards of the product. The number of samples required for inspection is based on the certification body Laboratory test Is determined by the requirements. The sampling site is from manufacturer the Final product Random selection. Type inspection must be approved by the state or CQC Approved, independent Inspection organization Proceed. If there are individual special inspection items, the inspection agency lacks the required inspection equipment, you can use the manufacturer's inspection equipment for inspection under the supervision of an independent inspection agency or certification body.
Quality system (environmental system) inspection and evaluation
Companies want to guarantee Product quality And continue to meet the requirements of the standard, it must be established according to the specific situation of the enterprise Quality management system . Rely only on the final product Sampling inspection To carry out product certification is incomplete. Even the sampling inspection based on statistics can only prove the quality of a product batch, and cannot prove whether the products produced after the factory continue to meet the requirements of the standard. Through the inspection and evaluation of the enterprise quality management system to prove that the enterprise has the ability to continuously and stably produce products that meet the requirements of the standard Practice proves A practical way to do it.

Supervision and inspection

When the application for certification of the product through the certification, how to maintain the stability of product quality and safety, to maintain the production plant products continue to meet the standard requirements, it must be regularly certified products Supervision and inspection . Supervision and inspection is to take samples from the final product of the production enterprise or the market, and to be inspected by an accredited, independent inspection agency. If the test results continue to meet the requirements of the standard, the continued use of the mark is allowed; If the test results do not meet the requirements of the standard, necessary measures shall be taken according to the specific circumstances to prevent the continued use of products that do not meet the standard Certification mark . Supervision inspection items are not carried out in accordance with all the requirements of the inspection regulations, it is important to check those items related to manufacturing. In particular, the quality and safety of customers have more opinions. The cycle of supervision and inspection is usually once a year.

Supervision and inspection

Supervision and inspection is the regular review of the quality assurance ability of the production enterprise, so that the enterprise insists on the implementation of the quality system that has been established, so as to ensure the stability of product quality. This is a supervisory measure to certify quality. The internal inspection of supervision and inspection is simpler than the first system inspection, and the focus is to check whether the nonconformance items of the previous inspection have been effectively corrected, and whether the modification of the quality (environment) system has reached the quality and quality Environmental index The requirements of.

Electronic product certification book
No matter what kind of industry in the world, the electronic appliances used have passed a variety of products Safety certification (This does not include products made in "underground factories", of course.) Why have security certification? This is also a safety commitment of each manufacturer to its own products, related to radiation, electrical safety, personal safety and so on.
Your monitor and your Computer power supply Are there many signs on the POWER? If not, be careful, those products are not guaranteed. Do you understand what these certifications and their markings mean? Here is a brief introduction to some of the most common security certifications in the computer information industry, hoping to help you in the future hardware procurement.

CCC certification

China's mandatory product certification has been implemented since May 1, 2002, and the name of the certification mark is" China compulsory certification (CCC, abbreviation of China Compulsory Certification). Against included countries Quality supervision Inspection and quarantine The General Administration of China and the Certification and Accreditation Administration issued the" The first batch of products to implement mandatory product certification The products are subject to mandatory testing and auditing.
Where the products listed in the catalogue have not been certified by the designated agency, they shall not be allowed to leave the factory, import, sell or use in business services without labeling the certification mark in accordance with the provisions. After the implementation of the China compulsory certification mark, it will gradually replace the original implementation of the" The Great Wall "Logo and" CCIB "logo. The original "Great Wall" logo and the "CCIB" logo were abolished on May 1, 2003.
