We don't make broad “we can do anything” promises. We focus on the three national mandatory certifications — CCC, SRRC type approval and network access licensing — and spell out the catalog placement, certification combination and sticking points for each product line. Match your product against it and you'll know which certificates you need.
Each card maps to one product line: which certificates are needed, the reference timeline, and where this line most often gets stuck. Click through for the full plan.

| Product line | CCC | SRRC Type Approval | Network Access License | Typical Timeline | Main sticking points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Smart Hardware | Whole-device approval + per catalog | SRRC across the board | CTA for cellular versions | 8–12 weeks | Missed accessories and SAR assessment; power banks are now in the CCC catalog |
| 02 Communication Equipment | Per catalog (three certificates common) | SRRC across the board | Required (public network access) | 12–20 weeks | Finalising band combinations and software version consistency; module-device coordination |
| 03 Smart Home | By category (including switches and sockets) | SRRC across the board | Gateway-type | 6–14 weeks | Multi-protocol coexistence interference; SKU unit division drives cost |
| 04 Industry Smart Terminals | Per catalog + toy safety | SRRC across the board | Smart-city connected types | 8–14 weeks | Order for determining medical status; connected standards such as GB 35114 |
| 05 IoT | Per catalog | SRRC across the board | Required (public network access) | 10–16 weeks | NB-IoT network access easily missed; meter sample version consistency |
| 06 Sensing & Monitoring | By form factor (low-voltage apparatus is listed) | SRRC when wireless is included | Cellular types | 6–12 weeks | Remote transmission devices easily miss CTA; key component consistency |
| 07 Satellite Equipment | By whole-device form factor | SRRC across the board | Depends on access + earth station | 10–18 weeks | EIRP and antenna gain; station licensing and the BeiDou-only path |
| 08 Special Communication Equipment | Determined per catalog | SRRC across the board | Depends on the access method | Assessed per project | Dedicated band coordination; wireless configuration consistency across vehicle models |
“Depends on form factor / category / access method” means the determination must be made for the specific product, not generalised; the written assessment is final.
First find the closest product line, review its certification matrix and sticking points, and rule out certificates that clearly don't apply.
Spec sheets, antenna data, wireless module models and target sales channels — the more specific, the more accurate the determination.
You receive “which certificates + whether units can be merged + timeline + itemised fees”, and sign only after confirming.
The compliance systems behind the eight product lines are interconnected. By isolating shared capabilities, parallel projects reuse the same resources and processes, shortening the overall timeline.
| Capability | What it covers | Value to clients |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance path design | Compare the product function list against the mandatory catalog item by item, and output a certificate combination matrix, submission checklist and division of responsibilities | Avoid missing or wrong certificates and wasted submission spending |
| Pre-test & Rectification | Baseline screening of four indicator sets — RF, EMC, safety and reliability; engineers stationed on site to follow testing, tracing problems down to component and structural level | Surface problems before formal submission and reduce repeated submissions |
| Filing & documents | Technical documents, difference statements, nameplates and warning labels, manual compliance, and preparing and answering filing forms | Documents right the first time, fewer correction cycles |
| Factory inspection & systems | Coaching on CCC factory quality assurance capability and audit preparation, with consistency control over key components and key processes | Lower the risk of failing the on-site audit and safeguard mass-production consistency |
| Timeline & parallel management | Parallel scheduling for multiple certificates, critical-path identification, and early lock-in of sample quantities and rectification windows | Controllable overall timeline that fits your launch cadence |
| Certificate maintenance | Change filing, annual surveillance and spot-check response, standard revision tracking, and certificate expiry alerts | Keep certificates valid long term and reduce compliance interruptions |
Actual applicability is determined by product function, catalog placement and use scenario; one product may fall under several items at once.
| Compliance item | Full name and governing basis | Main applicable products | Nature |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCC | Compulsory product certification, per the compulsory product certification catalog and administration regulations | Listed IT equipment, audio & video, telecom terminals, household appliances, low-voltage apparatus, power banks, etc. | Mandatory |
| SRRC | Radio transmitting equipment type approval, per the Radio Regulations, administered by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology | All equipment with radio transmitting capability | Mandatory |
| CTA | Telecom equipment network access license, per the Telecommunications Regulations, administered by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology | Communication equipment and terminals connected to the public telecom network | Mandatory |
| BeiDou-only | BeiDou special testing and BeiDou-only mode verification (supporting SRRC for satellite terminals) | BeiDou positioning, navigation and timing terminals | Special |
| Battery safety | GB 31241 battery safety testing, supporting CCC submission and UN38.3 transport assessment | Portable products containing lithium-ion batteries | Supporting test |
