We found that many enterprises that have just started to do certification are not very clear about the CE certification and 3C certification. So today, let's talk about the similarities and differences between 3C certification and CE certification?

1、 The nature is the same

CE certification and 3C certification are compulsory product safety certification;

2、 The meaning is the same

China's compulsory product certification (CCC or 3C certification for short) is in accordance with the current international certification standards. The establishment and operation of certification system, the operation of certification / testing / monitoring institutions and the implementation rules and procedures of certification are all in accordance with the relevant international guidelines and standards of ISO / IEC. The EU new method directive has become the latest and most advanced method adopted by the European community to eliminate technical barriers to trade. On the one hand, it can enable the community to complete extremely complex technical coordination legislation, on the other hand, it can promote the formulation and implementation of European standards. This not only provides the basic conditions for improving the industrial competitiveness of Europe, but also provides free circulation of goods It has provided necessary conditions, greatly accelerated the process of eliminating technical barriers to trade and promoted the economic development of the European community. In addition, the new method directive also promotes the expansion of intra European trade, reduces the cost of products, strengthens the competition within the European community, increases the choice of consumers, and promotes the improvement of the standardization level of the European community.

3、 The appointed bodies are appointed in the same way

Both CE certification and 3C certification are designated by the national authorities (EU is the member state);

4、 The same body is responsible for supervision

Both CE certification and China's 3C certification are the market supervision of the products that have obtained the certificate by the supervision organization designated by the state; the supervision organization of the certification cannot be the designated organization to carry out the certification; the contents of the supervision involve the use of the certification mark and the consistency of the products.

5、 Factory inspection adopts different certification standards

CE adopts ISO9000 (en19000) family system standards for factory inspection. China's 3C certification is based on our own certification characteristics and ISO9000 family standards as the main basis, and formulates the requirements for factory quality assurance capability. The content of Factory review is mainly factory quality assurance capability review and product consistency inspection

6、 Different standards are used for testing

The standards for the same product are different. The national standards based on 3C certification are enforced by the state, while the European standards based on CE certification are not mandatory. They should retain the status of voluntary standards. However, the national competent authorities must also recognize that the products produced according to the harmonized standards (or temporarily according to the national standards of Member States) should meet the "basic requirements" specified in the directive "(this indicates that the manufacturer may choose not to produce to the harmonized standard, but in this case the manufacturer must demonstrate that his product meets the" essential requirements "of the directive).

7、 The scope of application is different

CE certification has no product catalog, the scope is only limited by voltage range, while 3C certification is mainly limited by power, and there is a detailed product catalog.
