It should be noted that CCC mark is not a quality mark, but just one of the most basic safety certification.
CCC认证的作用
The signification of CCC certification
CCC标志一般贴在产品表面，或通过模压压在产品上，仔细看会发现多个小菱形的“CCC”暗记。每个CCC标志后面都有一个随机码，每个随机码都有对应的厂家及产品。认证标志发放管理中心在发放强制性产品认证标志时，已将该编码对应的产品输入计算机数据库中，消费者可通过国家质量认证中心进行编码查询。
CCC signs are generally attached to the surface of the product, or molded pressure on the product. Look closely and you’ll see a number of small rhombus “CCC” markings. Each CCC mark followed by a random code, and each random code has a corresponding manufacturer and its product. Distribution and management center of Certification mark has input the products corresponded into the database while the CCC mark is distributed, and the consumers can check the random code with National Quality Certification Center whether it is correct or not.
“CCC”认证标志分为四类
“CCC” certification mark is divided into four categories.
目前的“CCC”认证标志分为四类，分别为：
“CCC” certification mark is divided into four categories presently, namely:
1．CCC+S 安全认证标志；
CCC+S safety certification mark;
2．CCC+EMC 电磁兼容类认证标志；
CCC+EMC type of electromagnetic compatibility certification mark;
3．CCC+S&E 安全与电磁兼容认证标志；
CCC+S&E safety and electromagnetic compatibility certification mark;
4．CCC+F 消防认证标志.
CCC+F fire certification mark
四类标志每类都有大小五种规格
Each type of the above four categories has five specifications by different sizes.
CCC标志一般贴在产品上面，或通过模压压在产品上。目前设计的CCC标志不仅有激光防伪，而且每个型号都有一个独特的序号，序号不重复。消费者区别真假CCC标志的方法很简单，细看CCC标志，会发现多个小棱形的“CCC”暗记。另外，CCC标志最不容易仿冒的地方，就是每只标志后面都有一个随机码，它注明每个随机码所对应的厂家及产品，根据随机码，即可识别产品来源是否正宗。
CCC mark is generally attached to the surface of the product, or molded pressure on the product. The CCC mark designed presently not only has a laser anti-counterfeiting, but also each model has a unique serial number which isn't repeated. The method of distinguishing the true and false of the CCC mark is very simple. Look closely and you’ll see a number of small rhombic “CCC” markings. And it is difficult to be faked, because each 3C mark followed by a random code, and each random code is corresponded with a manufacturer and product. According to the random code, you can identify the source of the products is authentic or not.
