Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an implementation notice on converting explosion-proof electrical and other products from production licenses to mandatory product certifications. The announcement clearly states that from October 1, 2019, explosion-proof electrical appliances, household gas appliances, and household refrigerators with a rated capacity of 500L or more will be included in the CCC certification management scope. And the transition period is one year. Starting from October 1, 2020, the above products are not allowed to leave the factory, sell, import, or be used in other business activities without obtaining mandatory product certification certificates and labeling mandatory certification marks. This means that in the future, enterprises applying for explosion-proof certificates will become CCC mandatory certification and will follow the implementation rules of CCC mandatory certification.

As the implementation of mandatory certification for explosion-proof electrical equipment approaches, enterprises applying for explosion-proof certificates will encounter the following situations:

1. Before October 1, 2020, explosion-proof electrical products produced by domestic enterprises should be manufactured, sold, or used in other business activities with a valid production license or CCC certification.

2. For enterprises that have obtained production licenses, if explosion-proof electrical equipment no longer continues to be produced after October 1, 2020 (inclusive), there is no need to apply for CCC certification; Otherwise, the certification commission should be submitted as soon as possible and CCC certification should be obtained before October 1, 2020.

3. For certification commissions submitted by enterprises holding valid production licenses, the designated certification agency should recognize the corresponding review and testing results, develop relevant conversion plans (including differential testing items, supplementary factory inspections, etc.), and implement them. For explosion-proof electrical products that meet certification requirements, CCC certification certificates should be issued. At the same time, the list of certified enterprises should be notified to the provincial market supervision department where the enterprise is located. The certification and testing costs incurred during the certificate conversion process are generally borne by the government.

4. Each provincial-level market supervision department shall promptly handle the cancellation procedures of production licenses based on the notification from certification agencies and the expiration of production licenses. On October 1, 2020, the State Administration for Market Regulation cancelled all unconverted valid production licenses.

5. For explosion-proof electrical products produced during the validity period of the production license, they can continue to be sold in their original packaging (in compliance with the requirements of the production license) after October 1, 2020.
