On 31 December 2021, SAMR/SAC published two new standards for the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) scheme:
· GB/T 9254.1-2021 Information technology equipment, multimedia equipment and receivers—Electromagnetic compatibility—Part 1: Emission requirements
· GB/T 9254.2-2021 Information technology equipment, multimedia equipment and receivers—Electromagnetic compatibility—Part 2: Immunity requirements.
The two standards will come into effect on 1 July 2022 and replace the standards GB/T 9254-2008 and GB/T 13837-2012 which are currently adopted by the CCC scheme.
The scope of the new standards includes IT equipment, audio equipment, video equipment, broadcast receiving equipment, and entertainment lighting control equipment with rated AC voltage or DC voltage not exceeding 600V, as well as their combination. Specifically, TV sets, active speakers, audio power amplifiers, microcomputers, monitors, printers, servers, 08 and 09 power adapters are all covered by the new standards.
From 1 July 2022, certification for relevant products will be based on the new standards and new certificates will be issued for products that passed through the certification.
For products that have been certified by the old standards, renewing certificates should be done according to CCC/TC10 (EMC)’s technical resolutions. The deadline for renewing the certificate will be separately notified.
For certified products that were put on the market before 1 July 2022 and have halted production, no certificate renewal is needed.
