China - CCC FAQ

Question:

For CCC, we are using a factory that was previously inspected for CCC for another customer. Do we need to have the first factory inspection repeated and pay for the full inspection cost?

Answer:

If the factory has been inspected for the same category of products (example: servers is Category 09 in CCC) as the other customer, then no first factory inspection is required.

If the factory has been previously inspected for a category of product (example: servers is category 09) but your products are ethernet switches - ie category 16), then a category extension inspection will be required for CCC, but not the full inspection audit.
