Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an implementation announcement on converting explosion-proof electrical 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 calibrated capacity of 500L or more will be included in the scope of CCC certification management. And the transition period is one year. Starting from October 1, 2020, the above products shall not be manufactured, sold, imported or used in other business activities without obtaining mandatory product certification certificates and without labeling mandatory certification marks. This means that in the future, the application for explosion-proof certification by enterprises will become mandatory CCC certification and will be implemented in accordance with the implementation rules of CCC mandatory certification.

When the mandatory certification of explosion-proof electrical equipment is implemented, there will be several situations for enterprises to apply for explosion-proof certificates:

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

2. For enterprises that have obtained a production license, if explosion-proof electrical products no longer continue 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 body shall recognize the corresponding review and testing results, develop relevant conversion plans (including differential testing items, supplementary factory inspections, etc.) and implement them, issue CCC certification certificates for explosion-proof electrical products that meet certification requirements, and notify the provincial market supervision department where the enterprise is located of the list of certified enterprises. The authentication and testing costs incurred during the certificate conversion process are generally borne by the government.

4. Each provincial market supervision department shall promptly handle the cancellation procedures of the production license based on the notification from the certification body and the expiration of the production license. On October 1, 2020, the State Administration for Market Regulation cancelled all valid production licenses that had not been converted.

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 (meeting the requirements of the production license) after October 1, 2020.
