CAV Certification – To Replace CQC and CCAP Certificates

Starting from July 1, 2024, for all products in the CAV catalogue, CQC and CCAP going forward will conduct certifications according to the corresponding CAV Certification Rules and issue CAV certificates (instead of CQC certificates or CCAP Certificates).

Based on the requirements of the “Minutes of the Technical Committee Working Meeting of the Certification Alliance for Vehicle (CAV),” starting from July 1, 2024, for all products in the CAV catalogue, CQC and CCAP going forward will conduct certifications according to the corresponding CAV Certification Rules and issue CAV certificates (instead of CQC certificates or CCAP Certificates). This means CQC and CCAP will no longer issue new CQC certificates or CCAP certificates for those products.

Current certificates do not need to be adjusted immediately; they can be changed to CAV certificates during the next changes or updates, or at the latest, with the certificate extension before expiry.

What is CAV?
