With technological advancements, wireless products have become an indispensable part of peoples daily lives. From smart home devices to personal electronics, market demand continues to grow. However, ensuring compliance and safety is crucial when importing these wireless products into China. This article will guide you through the certifications and regulatory requirements needed for importing wireless products into the Chinese market.

China Compulsory Certification (CCC) is a mandatory certification ensuring that wireless products comply with safety and environmental standards set by the Chinese government. All wireless products sold in China, such as wireless routers, wireless APs, wireless bridges, wireless CPEs, wireless network cards, Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and other products with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality, require CCC certification.

Application process

Preparation:Manufacturers need to prepare necessary documents and materials and understand the relevant CCC certification regulations and standards.
Select a Certification Agency:Select a qualified CCC certification inspection agency, ensuring it has legal qualifications and can provide the required testing and audit services.
Submit the Application:Submit the CCC certification application to the selected certification body, along with detailed product specifications, technical parameters, user manuals, and other relevant documents.
Product Testing:The certification body conducts a series of tests on the submitted product, including electrical performance testing, electromagnetic compatibility testing, safety testing, etc.
Document review:The certification body reviews the documents and test reports submitted by the manufacturer to ensure compliance with CCC certification requirements.
Issuance of Compliance Certificate:Once the product passes the testing and review, the certification body will issue a compliance certificate as proof of legal sales.
Application for CCC Certification Mark:Manufacturers holding the compliance certificate can apply to use the CCC certification mark to affix the certification label on their products.

SRRC certification is Chinas type approval certification for radio transmission equipment and is also a mandatory certification. It requires all radio transmission equipment sold or used in China to pass SRRC certification to ensure compliance with national radio management regulations and technical standards. The main purpose of SRRC certification is to prevent radio interference and ensure communication quality.

Application process

Preparation:The applicant needs to prepare complete documentation, including product description, circuit diagrams, user manuals, etc., and submit it to SRRC for preliminary review.
Laboratory Testing:Conduct on-site testing through designated SRRC-accredited laboratories, including spectrum measurement, radiation measurement, etc., to meet national and industry standard requirements.
Application Evaluation:After laboratory testing is completed, the applicant submits the test report and related materials to SRRC for evaluation. The evaluation includes reviewing product technical specifications, spectrum utilization, radio frequency radiation, etc.
Certification Issuance:Upon passing the evaluation, SRRC will issue the certification certificate and mark, confirming the products compliance with relevant requirements.

Standard Requirements

Spectrum Utilization:The devices frequency range, output power, bandwidth, and other parameters must comply with national spectrum management regulations to ensure reasonable spectrum resource utilization.
Electromagnetic Compatibility:The device should have good anti-interference and compatibility performance and should not cause interference to other wireless devices and communication systems.
Radio Frequency Radiation:The electromagnetic radiation intensity of the device during operation must comply with national safety standards to protect human health and environmental safety.
Labeling Requirements:The product must correctly display the SRRC certification mark and comply with relevant labeling regulations.

The Network Access License is a certification by Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for communication products and is another mandatory certification for wireless products. Communication products sold in the Chinese market must obtain a Network Access License to ensure compliance with Chinas communication management regulations and national security standards.

Application process

Application Submission:Enterprises need to prepare application materials, including product manuals, test reports, etc., and submit the application to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Document Review:The Information and Communications Administration reviews the submitted application materials.
Product Testing:Products that meet the requirements need to undergo testing, including electromagnetic compatibility, communication protocols, etc.
Evaluation and Review:After passing the tests, the Information and Communications Administration conducts an evaluation and review.
Certificate Issuance:Products that pass the review will receive a Network Access License.

To strengthen radio management and promote the healthy development of the radio industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has issued a series of important notices and regulations.

Key Regulatory Content

Frequency Band Management:MIIT Document No. [2021]129 specifies clear radio frequency technical requirements and interference avoidance technical requirements for radio transmission equipment in the 2400MHz, 5100MHz, and 5800MHz frequency bands. These requirements cover aspects such as frequency usage, equivalent isotropic radiated power, frequency tolerance, etc., aiming to reduce radio interference and ensure effective utilization of spectrum resources.

IPv6 support:MIIT Document No. [2023]174 requires that wireless LAN devices with public network IP address allocation capabilities sold or used in China must support the IPv6 protocol and have IPv6 address allocation enabled by default. This regulation aims to promote the widespread adoption of IPv6 and accelerate the construction of a strong network nation.

These certifications and regulations not only help ensure the quality and safety of wireless products but also help standardize market order and promote industrial development. For wireless product manufacturers and sellers, obtaining these certifications is an important prerequisite for entering the Chinese market. By understanding and complying with these certification requirements, companies can ensure their products meet the safety and technical standards of the Chinese market, enabling smooth market entry and gaining consumer trust.
