China Compulsory Certificate (CCC)
The China Compulsory Certificate mark, commonly known as CCC Mark, is a compulsory safety mark for many products imported, sold or used in the Chinese market. It became implemented on May 1, 2002, and fully effective on August 1, 2003.
Changes to the scheme were introduced in March 2018, the main result of this is the approval of CCC marking moving away from the CNCA (Certification and Accreditatiion Administration of China) and being trasnferred to the Chinese certfication authorities, such as CQC (China Quality Certifiction Centre) who have issued guidelines of the placement of the CCC mark but will no longer be approving marks on behalf of manufacturers. This means that ensuring items are correctly marked will now fall with the manufacturer, failure to comply willl result in goods being seized and destroyed at customs.
CB Certification
The CB scheme is an international agreement among participating countries and certification organizations, which aims to facilitate trade by promoting harmonising national standards with a body of international standards.
This results in prescribed IEC standards which are equal to standards found in different parts of the world. A good example of this is IEC 60950-1, which seeks to harmonise with global standards, such as, UL 60950-1, EN 60950-1 or BS 60950-1 to name a few.

Product Safety Electrical Appliance & Material (PSE)
On April 1, 2009, the Japanese imposed the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (DENAN) which is also known as the PSE Mark. The DENAN Law is an amended version of what was previously known as the Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law (DENTORI). There are 340 “Non-specified Electrical Appliances” and 112 “Specified Electrical Appliances” which under the DENAN law are subject to regulation. A registered inspection agency will then act as a third party to take the Specified Electrical Appliances to undergo conformity inspection. The PSE Mark is proof that the appliance has been through this process.

The program includes 22 products, including ‘digital converters’.
