Ballast CCC certification full analysis: The prerequisite for entering the Chinese market

With the continuous progress of lighting technology, ballast as one of the core components of lighting system, its safety and performance are particularly important. In the Chinese market, ballast products must pass the national mandatory product certification (CCC certification) in order to legally produce, sell and import.

Why do ballasts need CCC certification?

Ballast as a key component of the lighting system, its safety is directly related to the user's experience and life and property safety. CCC certification through the strict testing and evaluation of the product to ensure that it meets national standards in electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility and other aspects, so as to effectively reduce the safety risks that may occur in the use of the product. In addition, CCC certification is also a "pass" for enterprises to enter the Chinese market, and only certified products can be legally sold in the market and gain the trust of consumers.

Ballasts CCC certification range and standards

Ballast products mainly include fluorescent lamp ballast and high intensity gas discharge lamp inductance ballast. According to the provisions of the CNCA, since December 1, 2010, the CCC certification of ballast must be carried out in accordance with the new version of the standard, including GB19510.1-2009, GB19510.4-2009, GB19510.9-2009 and GB19510.10-2009. These standards cover the safety performance, electrical performance, electromagnetic compatibility and other aspects of the ballast to ensure that the product will not cause harm to personal safety and equipment during use.

It is worth noting that fluorescent lamp AC electronic ballast (that is, electronic ballast) is also within the scope of CCC certification. In addition, although the LED bulb itself may not require 3C certification, its control devices, such as drivers, also need to be certified. Therefore, both traditional ballasts and emerging LED drivers must meet the mandatory certification requirements of the state.

Ballasts that are not CCC certified will face market restrictions

Ballasts that are not certified by CCC will face various restrictions in the Chinese market, including:

1. Production and sales restrictions: ballasts without CCC certification cannot be legally produced and sold in the Chinese market. This means that companies that produce or sell uncertified ballast products will face legal risks and barriers to market access.

2. Import restrictions: According to relevant regulations, ballasts without CCC certification are not allowed to be imported into China. This makes it necessary for foreign companies to ensure that their products meet China's certification requirements if they want to enter the Chinese market.

3, market access restrictions: CCC certification is a part of China's mandatory product certification system, not certified products can not enter the Chinese market. This not only limits the sales channels of products, but also affects the market expansion and customer acquisition of enterprises.

4, legal liability: the production and sale of uncertified ballast products may face legal liability, including fines and other legal consequences. Companies that violate the regulations face severe penalties.
