Many friends have questions. After the CCC certificate is revoked or suspended, can the products produced before the CCC certificate be revoked/suspended can still be sold on the market?

Let's take a look at the following two specific questions and the official answers.

Question 1
Q
Because the product is no longer in production, the standard version was not changed when the standard was changed, resulting in the cancellation of the 3C certificate. After the certificate is revoked, can the products produced before the version change continue to be circulated and sold in the market?

A
Okay, I've received the message. According to Article 29 of the "Regulations on the Administration of Compulsory Product Certification" (AQSIQ Order No. 117), "If a certified product is cancelled, suspended or withdrawn, the certification body shall determine the product category and Scope. From the date of cancellation or revocation of the certification certificate or during the suspension period of the certification certificate, products that do not meet the certification requirements shall not continue to be shipped, sold, imported or used in other business activities." If the product implements mandatory standards, the standards will be replaced Products sold after the release should also comply with the requirements of Article 25 of the Standardization Law of the People’s Republic of China. “Products and services that do not meet mandatory standards shall not be produced, sold, imported or provided.”

Question 2
Q
For products that require compulsory product certification, the production and sales of the products shall be stopped during the suspension of the 3C certificate. So can related products produced before the suspension of the 3C certificate continue to flow into the market for sale? For example, there are two reasons for suspension: unqualified sampling inspection, sampling inspection is not accepted. Are these two reasons meeting the certification requirements or not meeting the certification requirements?

A
Hello, with regard to the question you are consulting, Article 29 of the "Management Regulations on Compulsory Product Certification" (AQSIQ Order No. 117) has clearly stipulated: "Certified products are cancelled, suspended or withdrawn. The certification body shall determine the category and scope of products that do not meet the certification requirements. From the date of cancellation or revocation of the certification certificate or during the suspension of the certification certificate, products that do not meet the certification requirements shall not continue to be manufactured, sold, imported or used in other business activities. use."

Whether the products covered by the compulsory product certification certificate can be sold during the suspension period or the date of cancellation or withdrawal depends on whether the product meets the certification requirements. Whether the product meets the requirements is determined by the certification body. Products that do not meet the certification requirements shall not continue to be sold during the suspension period or the date of cancellation or withdrawal.

To summarize briefly, after the CCC certificate is revoked or suspended, as long as the certification body determines that the product produced before the CCC certificate is revoked or suspended is in compliance with the requirements, it can continue to be sold on the market; on the contrary, if it does not meet the requirements, it cannot. Continue to sell on the market.

In addition, regarding the situation in question 2, where the certification certificate was suspended due to unqualified sampling inspections, the production of unqualified products should be stopped and recalled in accordance with the "Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China", "Interim Measures for the Administration of Product Quality Supervision and Random Inspection" and other regulations. Wait for processing.
