For all interested in the responses, Request
Good Day, I am looking to ship Information Technology Equipment ( ITE ) to China. Would someone that has knowledge of what safety and emission standards are applicable please share this information with me? I would greatly appreciate it. Responses The following information is what I currently have on China's requirements for ITE: 1) EMI for China for ITE-GB9254-derived from CISPR 22 but it is not CISPR 22. Applies to only some equipment and not to others on a voluntary basis. Suggest treat it as must do unless Chinese authority says not needed. 2) Safety for China for ITE-GB4943-derived from IEC 950 but is not IEC 950. Applies to a whole range of equipment falling under different authorities and rules for compliance. The actual means of getting approval are both complicated and not always consistent. Please do try reaching my friend Jack Shyu at UL in Shanghai. His e-mail: [email protected]. I am sure that he or his colleagues will be able to help you. As far as I know, regarding safety, there is no "harmonized" standard. Contact Ms Aihua Wang, International Liaison of CCEE Secretariat Office ( Chinese Accreditation) CCEE Office 1106, 2 Shou Ti Nan Lu / CCEE office / 1106, 100044 Beijing, People Republic of China. Fax : 011-86-10-68360907. Ms. Wang will be helpful in getting you the details for compliance in the People Republic of China . She will indicate how and where to get the required . Provincial Chinese Governments can modify the CCEE compliance requirements according to local environmental conditions. Suggest you get also in direct contact with your customer in the selected Chinese province. China has recently restructured its State Councils to try and simplify and unify between the provinces the conformity assessment requirements. This will hopefully address the issue of a product being tested in one province not being accepted in another. There is an emphasis at this time is on safety. There have been one or two incidents recently which have arisen from unsafe products being placed on the market. Hence China now requires that certain types of products be licensed by the IECEE in China. ITE and Telecom products are subject to licensing and marking. The easiest way forward is to submit a CB report and Certificate to the IECEE along with a sample. They will probably want to carry out a couple of tests and more than likely inspect manufacturing process before issuing a certificate. ISO 9000 Certification may (I emphasize may) remove the requirement for a factory inspection. If they decide you do need a factory inspection you can kiss good-bye to at least three months as this is how long it will take the inspector to get a visa to visit your country. If further testing is required the IECEE will designate the laboratory for doing this. China has generally adopted CISPR standards here. There seems to be no formal regulation in China at this time although I do not believe that it will stay this way very long. I would be tempted to include copies of any declarations of conformity etc. that you have made for Europe along with your importation documents for the time being.
