June 2003 Event

China's Compulsory Certification (CCC) Mark

Seminar Overview

The government of China has introduced a new safety license system that becomes effective on August 1, 2003. The new system requires manufacturers in 132 product categories to obtain the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark before exporting or selling to China. This seminar offers attendees practical and effective guidance on China's Compulsory Certification (CCC) Mark.

The application process for the CCC mark is quite extensive and can take up to 90 days or more to complete. Products not meeting CCC requirements may be held at the border by Chinese Customs and will be subject to other penalties. Our speakers will take you through the certification process, step-by-step.

You will learn how to:

• Determine whether your product requires a CCC mark
• Get the implementing regulations
• Consider your options for applying
• Apply for CCC mark
• Find other Chinese licensing requirements
