Hi Chet,
The set of documents published by CNCA, the authority that administers the
CCC mark scheme in China, is available in English at:
http://www.typeapproval.com/cn/emc.html
The document labeled Regulations for CPCS.pdf is the overall regulations
guiding the regime. It addresses type testing. While I don't believe it
specifically says that testing performed outside China is not accepted, a
lot is determined at the implementation level. Testing must be performed at
CNCA accredited laboratories. I don't know of any such accredited labs
outside China. I know that several US manufacturers had sought to have
their own labs accredited at one point, but the last I heard was that these
applications have all been in limbo for a very long time. As a practical
matter, the testing must be conducted in China.
As for laboratories becoming accepted agents, if by that you mean
accreditation to have their test reports accepted by certification bodies
in China, this is the procedure mentioned above that some labs have tried.
I'm eager to hear from any list members about progress they may have made
in this accreditation process. If by accepted agent you mean a foreign lab
to become a certification body to issue the CCC mark, I think we may not
see this for some time to come.
Has anyone else seen further movement on this front?

Hello Listmembers. I am researching the procedures needed to obtain the CCC
mark for shipment of CCTV equipment into China and need some guidance from
those experienced in the process.
First, which Chinese document explicitly mandates type testing within China?
I have read from various sourches that any testing not performed within the
country is completely unacceptable. Where can I review the Chinese
Government's official stand on type testing, for EMC and product safety?
Lastly, I am looking for procedures necessary for a Regulatory Compliance
Lab to become an accepted agent within China.
Any experiences with this process that you are willing to share will be
appreciated.
