22 subcategories of products removed:

Cables (wires) for railway vehicles of rated voltage up to and including 3000V, electric screwdrivers and impact wrenches, sanders, circular saws, portable AC arc welding machines, AC arc welding machines, submerged arc welding machines, plasma arc welding machines, electric shock protective devices for arc welding transformers, coupling devices for welding cables, resistance welding machines, tuners and radio receivers, combination of four subcategories of audio/video apparatus (active loudspeaker systems having a single or multiple speakers with max output power under 500W (RMS), audio power amplifiers, tuners and radio receivers, audio or video recorders on any kind of media players or processing equipmen), power adapters for audio/video equipment, monitors, video recorders, switching power supply units, adapters and chargers for computer, stationary telephone terminals and additional devices of telephone sets, group phone systems, interior trimming materials, door lock and door retention components, and safety glass for railway vehicles.

 

In the adjustment, altogether 7 subcategories of products follow self-declaration procedure A and 12 subcategories of products follow self-declaration procedure B. Among them, fuses and low-voltage components are newly added in the list of products adopting the self-declaration procedure.

 

In a nutshell, further streamlining the CCC catalogue is conducive to reduce the burden on enterprises, in line with the CCC reform. However, there are still many voluntary standards referenced by the CCC, which turns them into de facto mandatory standards. The lack of external notification of these standards creates significant barriers for overseas enterprises and is disadvantageous to fair competition. In addition, the short transition period for some CCC products, like explosion-proof appliances poses a challenge for enterprises. All these issues have yet to be addressed in future CCC reforms.
