What is the difference between CE certification and 3C certification?
2024-06-12

1. Both 3C certification and CE certification are mandatory safety certifications. CCC certification is generally referred to as 3C certification, which is China's mandatory safety certification. Devices in the CCC certification list must apply for 3C certification before they can be sold in the Chinese market. CE certification is the EU's mandatory safety certification. Whether it is a product manufactured by an EU company or a Chinese company, if it wants to be sold in the EU market, it must comply with the CE certification requirements and obtain a CE certificate.

2. The purpose of CCC certification and CE certification is to promote the standardization of regulations and the standardization and optimization of procedures.

The compulsory product quality certification (commonly known as CCC certification or 3C certification) that has been implemented in my country follows the official certification operation rules. The establishment and operation of the certification mechanism, the operation of the certification/inspection/supervision organization and the certification implementation standard procedures all follow the relevant ISO/IEC international norms and standards. The new EU directive has become a new and modern method adopted by the European Community to eliminate trade technical requirements. It can enable the Community to carry out very complex technical coordination and legal work on the one hand, and promote the establishment and implementation of European standards on the other hand. This not only provides basic conditions for improving the competitiveness of industrial production in the European region, but also provides the necessary conditions for the free circulation of products, greatly accelerating the process of eliminating trade technical requirements and promoting the social and economic development of the European Community. In addition, the formation of the new directive has also promoted the expansion of trade within the European Community, reduced production costs, strengthened competition within the European Community, improved consumer choice, and promoted the improvement of the European Community's standardization level.

3. Both CE certification and CCC certification are regulatory systems implemented by the country (EU for its member states) for enterprises.

4. CE certification and CCC certification are market supervision and management of equipment with certificates by management agencies selected by my country. The certification management agency cannot be a specific organization that implements the certification; the content of supervision involves the use of certification certificates and the consistency of products.
