The essential attribute of certification is "transmitting trust and service development", and the integrity of enterprises is the basis of certification. For product certification, enterprises need to submit a "Consistency Commitment" to the certification body when applying for certification to ensure that the certified products meet the certification consistency requirements; at the same time, as a compulsory product certification system implemented by national legislation, CCC certification The conformity requirements of certified products are not only the moral and contractual constraints of enterprises, but have risen to the statutory requirements for certified enterprises. The effective implementation of product certification and the ability to transfer trust from production enterprises to consumers directly depends on the contractual commitment and compliance of enterprises to the consistency of certified products. Therefore, violating the requirements of CCC certified product consistency is tantamount to violating national laws and regulations. The government's supervision of certification is actually also the credit supervision of certified enterprises. If the products produced after obtaining the certificate do not meet the consistency requirements, not only will the certification inspection fail, resulting in the suspension or revocation of the certificate, but also the devaluation of the corporate reputation and credit bankruptcy, which will result in different degrees of administrative penalties for violating certification laws and regulations. .

The inconsistency of the certified products sold from the factory will lead to different illegal consequences and administrative penalties depending on the degree. A more accurate understanding can be obtained through the following typical cases.

Case number one



For the stainless steel electric kettle applying for CCC certification, the appearance of the kettle body is white spray paint, and the kettle body is red spray paint during subsequent production, which is obviously inconsistent for the buyer, but for CCC certification, the appearance color of the kettle body does not affect the safety of the product The performance test results still belong to the same range.

Case 2

The manufacturer of the CCC-certified stainless steel electric kettle, the manufacturer of the power cord used is Company A, and the manufacturer of the power cord used in subsequent production is Company B, but the models and specifications are the same, and they also have a valid CCC certificate. From the perspective of CCC certification, it belongs to the inconsistency of key component manufacturers, but according to the corresponding certification standards, the inconsistency does not affect the compliance with the standard, and it belongs to the scope of application to the certification body for changes of key component manufacturers. If the product is sold out of the factory, it is an illegal circumstance of "failure to apply to the certification body for the change of the certification certificate according to the regulations, to leave the factory, sell, import or use the products listed in the catalog in other business activities without authorization".

Case 3


The rated power of the stainless steel electric kettle that applies for CCC certification is 2000W, and the rated power of the subsequent products is 1500W. Except for the different power of the heating element, the product structure and other key components are the same. From the perspective of CCC certification, it belongs to the inconsistency between the actual product specification and the coverage of the certified product specification. According to the division rules of certified product units, the 1500W electric kettle and the 2000W electric kettle in the above cases belong to the same certification unit, and the results of testing and certification can be covered. Such inconsistencies generally do not cause the product to fail to meet the certification standards. If the product is sold out of the factory, it is an illegal circumstance of "failure to apply for the extension of the certification certificate to the certification body in accordance with the regulations, and to leave the factory, sell, import or use the products listed in the catalog in other business activities without authorization".

Case 4

Please request a stainless steel electric kettle certified by CCC, but the actual production is an electric kettle with a glass body, which is inconsistent with the shell material of the actual product and the certified product. According to the division rules of certified product units, electric kettles composed of metal and non-metallic shell materials belong to different certification units, and the results of testing and certification cannot be covered. If the product is sold out of the factory, it is an illegal circumstance of "the products listed in the catalog are not certified, and are manufactured, sold, imported or used in other business activities without authorization."

Case 5


For a stainless steel electric kettle with a rated power of 1500W for CCC certification, the nominal cross-sectional area of the power cord used is 0.75mm², and the nominal cross-sectional area of the power cord used in subsequent production is 0.5mm². From the perspective of CCC certification, the specifications and models of key components are inconsistent. Considering the corresponding certification standards, since the standard clearly requires that the nominal cross-sectional area of the power cord should not be less than 0.75mm², the actual use of 0.5mm² reduces the power cord as a key element. The use specifications of the device will lead to serious non-compliance with the standard requirements, that is, the quality of the certified product is seriously substandard. Such changes cannot be approved by the certification body even if requested. If the product is sold out of the factory, it is an illegal circumstance that “after the products listed in the catalog are certified, they do not engage in production and business activities in accordance with legal conditions and requirements, or produce and sell products that do not meet legal requirements”.

Summarize the characteristics of the above cases, and according to the "Regulations on Certification and Accreditation" and "Regulations on the Administration of Compulsory Product Certification", the following table can be used to summarize

inconsistency                                               inconsistent type                                        Penalties involved

No certification requirements are involved           none                                                            none

Involves certification requirements and meets certification standards           unchanged         

Order it to make  corrections and impose a fine of not more than 30,000 yuan

Involves certification requirements, but certification rules can override          not expanded

Order it to make corrections and impose a fine of not more than 30,000 yuan

Involves certification requirements, but is not within the scope of certification       not certified
Order to make corrections, impose a fine of not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan, and if there are illegal gains, the illegal gains will be confiscated

Involves certification requirements, within the scope of certification, but does not meet certification standards
Manufacture and sale of products that do not meet statutory requirements
In accordance with Articles 2 and 3, paragraph 2 of the Special Provisions of the State Council on Strengthening the Safety Supervision and Administration of Food and Other Products

Epilogue
If the certified products are inconsistent, the consequences are very serious. It is the responsibility of the enterprise to control the product consistency of the certified products according to the certification requirements, and the sellers cannot change the products without authorization to cause inconsistencies. Once illegal, both manufacturers and sellers will be subject to corresponding administrative penalties.
