CQC certification is a voluntary certification, which can be understood as a certificate issued by the China Quality Certification Center to the applicant according to the relevant testing standards for a certain product. Since China Quality Certification Center is relatively authoritative among domestic certification agencies, and is one of the certification agencies that issue CCC certification, CQC certification is relatively recognized in China. But it needs to be clear: CQC certification is a voluntary certification in China. The state does not require mandatory certification. Generally, for products that are not in the CCC certification catalog, manufacturers can choose to do CQC certification or quality inspection reports corresponding to national standards. .
