Automotive Parts CCC & ISO Certification China – Auto Parts Compliance & Quality Management
Ensure your brake pads, seat belts, lighting, and other auto parts obtain CCC certification and integrate ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 quality systems to enter the Chinese automotive market. Our remote team manages the entire CCC type testing, factory inspection, and management system process, keeping your components compliant with China's vehicle safety regulations.
📋 Request Free Automotive Certification ConsultationWhat Is Automotive Parts CCC & ISO Certification?
Automotive parts CCC certification is a mandatory conformity assessment required for specific vehicle components sold in China. Regulated by the SAMR, the scope covers safety-critical items like brake pads, brake hoses, seat belts, safety glass, lamps, and tires. In parallel, many OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers require an ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certified quality management system as a prerequisite for business. The CCC process includes type testing against applicable GB standards (e.g., GB 5763 for brake pads, GB 14166 for seat belts, GB 15742 for lamps), initial factory inspection, and periodic follow-up audits.
Our automotive parts certification service guides foreign manufacturers through the entire China auto component compliance journey. We coordinate CCC testing at designated labs, support factory quality system implementation, and handle the application submission. With TEK China, you can navigate the imported auto parts certification requirements without a local office.
Our Automotive Parts Certification Process
1. Product Classification & Standard Mapping
We determine whether your part falls under the CCC catalogue and identify the exact GB test standard and testing items required for type approval.
2. Type Testing & Factory Inspection
Samples undergo safety and performance testing at a SAMR-designated laboratory. We simultaneously prepare your factory quality manual and production line for the on-site audit.
3. ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 Implementation
We help establish or align your quality management system with ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 requirements, including PFMEA, control plan, and process audit documentation, often needed for OEM approvals.
4. Certificate Issuance & Annual Follow-up
Once all requirements are met, you receive the CCC certificate and/or ISO certificate. We provide ongoing support for annual factory inspections and certificate maintenance.
Auto Parts That Require CCC Certification
Only those components listed in the CCC catalogue for motor vehicles are subject to mandatory certification. Key examples include:
- Brake Parts: disc brake pads, drum brake linings, hydraulic brake hoses — tested to GB 5763 and GB 16897
- Seat Belts & Restraint Systems: three-point belts, child restraint systems — governed by GB 14166
- Lighting & Signaling Devices: headlamps, tail lamps, turn signals — must comply with GB 15742 and GB 5920
- Safety Glass: laminated windshield, tempered side glass — certified under GB 9656
- Tyres & Inner Tubes: passenger car tyres, truck tyres — covered by GB 9743 and GB 9744
If your product is an aftermarket accessory not in the CCC catalogue, voluntary CQC certification or a GB/T test report may still be required by importers. Contact us with your part numbers for a free CCC scope check.
Documents Required for Automotive Parts Certification
To apply for CCC for auto parts or ISO 9001 / IATF 16949, foreign manufacturers need to prepare the following (we provide translation and template support):
- Product technical drawings, material specifications, and BOM list
- Existing ECE, DOT, or E-mark certificates and test reports (for gap analysis)
- Quality management system manual and process flow charts
- Production equipment list and calibration records
- Chinese label and marking design per GB/T 25978
- Letter of authorization for TEK China to act as the CCC applicant representative
Automotive Parts Certification Timeline & Cost
The typical CCC certification for auto parts takes 10 to 16 weeks from sample submission to certificate issuance, including factory inspection. ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 implementation can take an additional 8 to 12 weeks depending on your current quality system maturity.
Cost factors include the number of part numbers, testing fees, factory inspection charges, and consultancy days for system implementation. We provide a fixed-price proposal after evaluating your product range — no hidden costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automotive Parts Certification
Which auto parts need CCC certification in China?
The CCC catalogue includes brake pads, brake hoses, seat belts, safety glass, lamps, tyres, and a few other safety-related components. If your part is not on the official CCC list, it may still need a voluntary CQC certificate or a GB test report for OEM acceptance.
How long does CCC certification for brake pads take?
Typically 10 to 14 weeks, including type testing (covering friction coefficient, wear rate, and shear strength per GB 5763) and initial factory inspection. Lead times can vary based on lab scheduling.
Do I need IATF 16949 if I already have ISO 9001?
Many Chinese OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers require IATF 16949, especially for parts that go into series production vehicles. ISO 9001 is a good starting point, but IATF 16949 adds automotive-specific requirements like PFMEA and MSA. We can help upgrade your system.
Can I use my E-mark or DOT test reports to reduce CCC testing?
While E-mark or DOT reports may demonstrate product safety, Chinese CCC testing must be performed by a SAMR-designated laboratory according to the specific GB standards. However, existing reports can be used for pre-assessment and may help streamline the process.
Is CCC certification enough to sell auto parts in China?
CCC covers the mandatory safety approval. In addition, you will likely need an ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 certificate to be accepted by OEMs. Proper Chinese labeling and the CCC mark printed on the product are also required.
