Is there a specified product list for explosion-proof electrical equipment to be subject to mandatory product certification? Answer: Yes. **While issuing the announcement on the transition of explosion-proof electrical equipment from production licensing to **mandatory product certification**, the State Administration for Market Regulation also released a list of the products related to explosion-proof electrical equipment that are subject to this mandatory certification. Products listed in the product catalog must be exported, sold, or used in other business activities during the transition period with a valid production license or CCC certification. After the transition period, products can only be manufactured, sold, or used for other business activities upon possession of a valid CCC certification. 2. How can explosion-proof electrical products that are not listed in the product catalog obtain certification? Answer: Currently, the product catalog includes most explosion-proof electrical equipment. However, there are still some explosion-proof electrical devices that are not listed in the catalog, such as large-scale system equipment and explosion-proof lighting fixtures. For these items, it is still necessary to apply for an explosion-proof certification as before; only after obtaining such a certificate can they be used in explosive hazardous environments. 3. For products listed in the CCC certification catalog for explosion-proof products that are currently applying for or have already obtained an explosion-proof qualification certificate, how can they switch to a CCC certificate? Answer: The transition period for explosion-proof electrical products to obtain CCC certification is from October 1, 2019, to October 1, 2020; it lasts for one year. If the type test report issuing the explosion-proof certification is from a CCC-designated laboratory, the explosion-proof certificate remains valid during the transition period. However, it is also necessary to check whether there are any missing test items in the report; if so, supplementary tests need to be conducted, and the report must be converted into CCC report format. 4. What are the requirements for the qualifications of applying enterprises after explosion-proof electrical equipment becomes subject to mandatory product certification? Answer: Mandatory product certification, also known as CCC certification, follows a certification model that includes type testing + initial factory inspection + supervision after certification; in simple terms, it involves a factory audit. The applying company must possess the capabilities for production/inspection/shipment (or OEM/ODM qualifications). 5. What are the requirements for key components after explosion-proof electrical equipment is converted to CCC certification? Answer: If the key components fall within the scope of the explosion-proof CCC certification, components with an explosion-proof CCC certificate must be purchased. 6. After explosion-proof electrical equipment is upgraded to CCC certification, will the certificate issued be a CCC certificate or an explosion-proof compliance certificate? Or does it have both certificates? Answer: Two certificates are required. Conducting a test at a CCC-designated laboratory makes it possible to obtain both an explosion-proof certification and a CCC certificate. 7. For explosion-proof electrical products that are not included in the list covered by the explosion-proof CCC certification, is it sufficient to obtain an explosion-proof compliance certificate in order to carry out normal production, sales, and business activities? Answer: Yes. However, for accessories listed in the CCC catalog, products with a CCC certificate must be purchased. 8. Regarding the product nameplate (certification mark): Do products that have obtained the explosion-proof CCC certification bear the CCC mark or the Ex mark? Answer: Both the CCC mark and the Ex mark are required. The CCC mark is stipulated by the CCC system, while the Ex mark is stipulated by the explosion-proof standards. 9. The implementation rules for converting explosion-proof electrical products to CCC certification state that they apply to explosion-proof electrical products of categories I/II/III; then do explosion-proof products used in coal mines of category I also need to undergo CCC certification? Is a CCC certificate and a coal safety certificate mandatory? Answer: A CCC certificate, an explosion-proof certification Ex certificate, and a coal safety MA certificate are all necessary. 10. For composite explosion-proof products that already have an explosion-proof certification, although these products themselves are not listed in the CCC explosion-proof catalog, the components used in them are included in that catalog. How should this be handled? Answer: If the components are manufactured in-house, a CCC certificate must be applied for; if they are purchased externally, components with a CCC certificate must be acquired. 11. How is factory supervision carried out for the CCC certification of explosion-proof electrical equipment? Answer: As shown in the table below at https://pic3.zhimg.com/80/v2-0b554f6253b6e7406c7f6826b24c7e82_720w.jpg, 12. After switching from explosion-proof certification to CCC certification, is it necessary to inspect the factory first before issuing the certificate, or is the certificate issued first and then an inspection is conducted? Answer: Under normal circumstances, a factory inspection is conducted first before issuing the certificate. 13. Are enterprise standards and manuals required for the explosion-proof CCC certification? Can the key components be reported? Answer: Enterprise standards, instruction manuals, and lists of controlled components all need to be filed. 14. Is it possible to convert a foreign explosion-proof certification into a CCC certificate? What documents are required? Answer: No. Foreign testing agencies for explosion-proof certification are not CCC-designated laboratories; therefore, any reports issued by them are not recognized. Moving forward, all imported products listed in the CCC catalog must undergo CCC certification in China. 15. After explosion-proof electrical equipment becomes subject to mandatory product certification, is the original production license still valid? The announcement stipulates that the transition period for converting explosion-proof electrical equipment to mandatory product certification is 1 year; during this period, production, sales, and other business activities can continue as long as a valid production license is in place. After the transition period, the **State Administration for Market Regulation will revoke all the original production licenses.
