What Is CQC Voluntary Certification?

CQC voluntary certification is a conformity assessment issued by the China Quality Certification Centre, one of the largest certification bodies in China. Unlike CCC which is mandatory, CQC certification is a voluntary mark that demonstrates a product has met additional quality, safety, and performance criteria. It is often required by Chinese e-commerce platforms like JD.com and Tmall, or by business partners who want to see independent proof of product quality. The process involves type testing, factory inspection, and ongoing surveillance, similar to CCC but with more flexibility on the scope.

Our CQC certification service guides foreign manufacturers through the entire China voluntary certification journey. We coordinate testing at CQC-accredited laboratories, prepare technical documentation, and manage factory audits. With our support, you can obtain the CQC mark without setting up a local office.

Our CQC Certification Process

1. Product Evaluation & Standard Selection

We determine the applicable GB standards and define the testing scope for your product to meet CQC certification requirements.

2. Type Testing at Accredited Lab

Samples undergo safety, EMC, and performance tests at a CQC-accredited laboratory. We track progress and address any issues.

3. Factory Audit & Document Submission

We prepare your factory quality system for the on-site audit and submit the full CQC application to the certification body.

4. Certificate Issuance & Surveillance

Once approved, you receive the CQC certificate. We support annual follow-up audits and certificate maintenance.

Products That Benefit from CQC Certification

CQC covers a wide range of product categories not listed in the CCC catalogue. Common examples include:

  • Electronic Components: capacitors, connectors, switches, circuit breakers
  • Lighting Products: LED drivers, fluorescent lamps, luminaires
  • Household Appliances: coffee machines, vacuum cleaners, air purifiers (non-CCC categories)
  • IT & AV Equipment: projectors, speakers, power adapters — often required by Chinese resellers
  • Industrial Components: motors, pumps, valves — for B2B supply chain acceptance

If your product already has CE or UL certification, the CQC certification process can often be streamlined. Contact us for a free CQC scope assessment.

Documents Required for CQC Certification

To apply for CQC voluntary certification, foreign manufacturers need to prepare (we assist with translation and documentation):

  • Product technical specifications and user manual
  • Circuit diagram, component list, and PCB layout
  • Manufacturer business license and ISO 9001 certificate
  • Existing CE, UL, or other international test reports
  • Factory quality manual and production process description
  • Letter of authorization for TEK China as the CQC applicant

CQC Certification Timeline & Cost

The typical CQC voluntary certification process takes 6 to 12 weeks from sample submission to certificate issuance, depending on product complexity and factory readiness. Products with existing international certifications may qualify for a reduced testing scope.

Cost factors include type testing fees, factory audit charges, and application service fees. We provide a fixed-price proposal after evaluating your product — no hidden costs.

Manufacturers of electronics, lighting, and components often apply for CQC to improve market acceptance.
How is CQC different from CCC certification?
