For which products is CCC SDoC required?

The CCC Self-Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is required for products subject to mandatory China Compulsory Certification (CCC) for which a self-declaration of conformity is sufficient. This regulation has been in effect since October 17, 2019, for specific product groups designated by the Chinese authority CNCA. Two categories are distinguished: For Type A, product testing can be carried out in laboratories of your choice, in either in-house or in third-party laboratories certified to ISO 17025. For Type B, product testing must be carried out in designated, accredited laboratories in China. Typical products subject to SDoC certification include certain vehicle parts and safety accessories, electronic devices, as well as audio and video equipment. The SDoC certification allows manufacturers to self-declare compliance with Chinese safety standards, thereby simplifying the certification process.
