CCC-Ex China Compulsory Certification Ex ia

According to an announcement of the Chinese market regulation authority SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation), a CCC certification requirement applies in China for explosion proof products (Ex products). As of October 1, 2019 a CCC certificate can be applied for many Ex-products. A China CCC certification will be mandatory for the affected products starting October 1, 2020. Previously products that were explicitly used in explosion protection areas and already had an international Ex certification were subject to an exemption regulation regarding CCC. With the announcement, the authority also published the new implementation rule CNCA-C23-01:2019, which regulates which product groups will be subject to CCC in future.
