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

(2) Registration certificates of the certification client, producer, and production enterprise (such as business license, administrative license statement, etc.);

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

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

(5) Certificate of conformity, factory inspection report, etc. of the test samples;

(6) Production Enterprise Information Form (when factory inspection is required);
