As we all know, since October 1, 2019, the State Administration for Market Regulation has included explosion-proof electrical products in the scope of national mandatory product certification. This means that all products listed in the explosion-proof electrical product catalog must apply for national 3C certification. So, as a manufacturer of explosion-proof electrical equipment, how should we apply for explosion-proof 3C certification?

In fact, the application process for explosion-proof electrical 3C certification is the same as that for ordinary 3C certification. The basic process for applying for explosion-proof electrical 3C certification is as follows.

1、 Application process

1Submit an application for explosion-proof electrical 3C certification online. The submitted materials include:

(1) Certification application form or certification service agreement (should be signed and stamped);

(2) Registration certificates of certification clients, producers, and production enterprises (such as business licenses, administrative licensing statements, etc.);

(3) Product description, mainly including: technical parameters, structure, model description, list of key components and materials, differences in specifications of products included in the same certification unit, etc;

(4) Technical documents mainly include: product standards (or technical conditions), manuals, product drawings related to explosion-proof performance, etc;

(5) Certificate of conformity and factory inspection report of test samples;

(6) Production enterprise information table (when factory inspection is required);

(7) ODM mode: Provide corresponding information, such as ODM protocol, in accordance with the requirements of CQM02-C1 "Supplementary Rules for ODM Mode in CCC Certification".
