Certification clients shall promptly monitor standard revision information and complete the relevant work for standard revisions in accordance with the requirements.
3. Certification modes
The available certification modes for electronic products and safety accessories are as follows:
Mode 1:
Category I or Category II devices: Type testing + post-certification surveillance
The post-certification surveillance refers to surveillance in any one of the following three methods: post-certification follow-up inspection; sampling and testing or inspection at the production site; or sampling and testing or inspection on the market side.
Devices other than Category I or Category II: Type testing + post-certification follow-up inspection
Mode 2:
Type testing + post-certification surveillance
The post-certification surveillance refers to surveillance in any one or combination of the following three methods: post-certification follow-up inspection; sampling and testing or inspection at the production site; and/or sampling and testing or inspection on the market side.
Mode 3:
Type testing + initial factory inspection + post-certification surveillance
The post-certification surveillance refers to surveillance in any one or combination of the following three methods: post-certification follow-up inspection; sampling and testing or inspection at the production site; and/or sampling and testing or inspection on the market side.
Category A and Category B production enterprises may adopt Mode 1 for certification.
Category C and Category D production enterprises shall adopt Mode 2 for certification.
To avoid the risk of non-conforming products being placed on the market, Category A, Category B, Category C, and Category D production enterprises may also voluntarily choose Mode 3 for certification.
