SAMR Tightens CCC Certification Requirements for Lamps, Ballasts and Other Products

The State Administration for Market Regulation issued an announcement on the implementation rules for mandatory product certification of lamps and ballasts. The new rules adopt a problem-oriented and goal-oriented approach, closely aligning with industry characteristics, safety features, and production processes to refine requirements for manufacturers' quality assurance capabilities, product consistency control, certification unit division, and sampling testing. Enhanced post-certification supervision will be implemented alongside more scientific classification management of enterprises, covering the entire chain of CCC certification for lamps and ballasts to strengthen the responsibility of all relevant parties. The new rules optimize the certification model for lamps, establishing three distinct models for general-purpose lamps, large-scale lamps, and single-batch custom-made lamps to enhance specificity and facilitate diverse certification needs.
