Hi Don, 3C means CCC. China uses "3C" to stand for "CCC". It is easier, and less characters. "Business to business" supply type is NOT under scope of the China RoHS law (the Measure). I hope this helps. Best regards, Grace

Also, in Q&A 10 and 12, they talk about "business to business" and "B2B" in contrast with "business to consumer" and "B2C". Is there a general exemption for business-to-business equipment at this time?

There are total 36 Q&A. The first nine Q&A are the same from the one posted last March. Some Q&A you may be interested in are: 1. The definition for household electronic products include TVs, radio receivers, CD players, audio equipment, etc. Refrigerators, washers, air conditioners, etc. are not under scope of electronic information products. (Q&A 10) 2. Electronic products used in vehicles: "Business to business" supply type is not under scope of the China RoHS law (the Measure). "Business to consumer" supply type is within the scope of the Measure. (Q&A 12) 3. Maintenance parts: Parts manufactured after March 1, 2007 are subject to the Measure. (Q&A 14) 4. Batteries are within the scope of the Measure. (Q&A 24) 5. Q: Is there any English version of the Measure? A: The Measure is the Chinese legal document. Traditionally, (government) do not provide an English version. There are many English versions available online for reference. If there is a dispute between an English version and the Chinese version, the Chinese version take precedence. (Q&A 36) Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
