    China SRRC Certification

    Planning to enter the Chinese market with your wireless products but concerned about compliance with local regulations? SRRC certification is essential for any company looking to sell devices that utilize radio frequencies in China. Understanding and navigating the certification process can be challenging, but with 360Compliance, you can simplify this critical step and ensure a smooth market entry.

    What is SRRC Certification?

    The State Radio Regulatory Commission (SRRC) Certification is a mandatory requirement for any wireless product that transmits radio waves and is intended to be sold or used in China. It signifies compliance with Chinese regulatory standards, ensuring that devices meet the necessary specifications and pose no interference risks.

    The SRRC certificate plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing the quality, safety, and compatibility of wireless devices with the established norms in China. As a mandatory certification for telecommunications products, it signifies adherence to guidelines that promote efficient radio frequency usage, ultimately contributing to a secure and interference-free communication environment.

    SRRC Approval Procedure

    Obtaining SRRC certification involves several steps:

    1. Preparing Documentation: Initiate the process by compiling and organizing the necessary documentation. This may include technical specifications, test reports, and other relevant materials essential for the certification application.

    2. Testing and Evaluation: Undergo comprehensive testing to assess the device’s compliance with Chinese regulations. This stage involves rigorous scrutiny of technical aspects to ensure the product meets the specified criteria for radio frequency, safety, and performance.

    3. Application Submission: Submit the prepared documentation and test reports to the relevant authorities. The application process involves providing detailed information about the wireless device, its intended use, and technical specifications.

    4. Review and Evaluation: Government authorities conduct a thorough review of the submitted documents and test results. This evaluation ensures that the device aligns with the prescribed standards, meeting the criteria necessary for SRRC certification.

    5. Certification Issuance: Upon successful review, the State Radio Regulation issues the SRRC certificate. This document serves as official recognition that the wireless communication device is compliant with Chinese regulations, making it eligible for distribution and use within the Chinese market.

    6. SRRC Marking: After certification, adhere to the guidelines for displaying the SRRC mark on the product. Proper marking signifies compliance and adherence to the established standards, building trust with consumers and regulatory bodies.
