0 Introduction
This Rules is established based on the safety risk and certification risk of low-
voltage switchgear. It stipulates the basic principles and requirements for the
implementation of China Compulsory Certification for low-voltage switchgear.
This Rules can be used with other general rules issued by Certification and
Accreditation Administration (CNCA), such as “China Compulsory Certification
Implementation Rules - Manufacturing Enterprise Classification Management,
Certification Mode Selection and Determination”, “China Compulsory
Certification Implementation Rules - Utilization of Manufacturing Enterprise Test
Resource and Other Certification Results”, “China Compulsory Certification
Implementation Rules - Factory Inspection General Requirements”.
The certification body shall make principles for certification according to the
general implementation rules and this Rules and implement them accordingly.
Manufacturing enterprise shall ensure that their certified products are capable of
sustaining compliance with the certification and are compatible with the
requirements of the standards.
1 Application scope
This Rules applies to low-voltage switchgear, including complete sets of power
switchgear with a rated voltage AC not exceeding 1000V and a frequency not
exceeding 1000Hz, bus trunk system (busway), power panels, complete sets of
equipment for construction sites, complete sets of power distribution equipment
for public power grids, reactive power compensation devices.
Due to the changes in the laws, regulations or related product standards,
technology, industry policies and other causes which may change the applicable
scope, the announcement released by CNCA shall be final and conclusive.
2 Terms and definitions
Design appraisal: In this Rules, design appraisal refers to a non-test verification
method that proves that the product meets the requirements of the certification
basis standard by means of verification comparison and verification evaluation.
3 Standards for certification
CLIENT shall provide the required materials according to the requirements of
application material checklist in certification implementation detailed-rules.
Certification body is responsible for auditing, managing, preserving and keeping
confidential of the relevant materials, and shall inform the CLIENT of the
auditing results.
6.3 Implementation arrangement
Certification body shall agree with the CLIENT on the relevant responsibilities
and arrangement of various aspects of certification implementation. And
according to the situation of manufacturing enterprise and classification
management AND the requirements of this Rules and certification
implementation detailed-rules, DETERMINE the specific program of certification
implementation and INFORM CLIENT.
7 Certification implementation
7.1 Type test
7.1.1 Type test plan
Certification body shall formulate the type test plan, after auditing the materials.
And INFORM the CLIENT.
Type test plan includes the information all samples’ requirements and quantity,
test standard items, laboratory information etc.
7.1.2 Sample requirements of type test
The certification body shall specify the relevant requirements for
sending/sampling of certified products in the implementation rules. In general,
according to the requirements of certification body, samples of type test shall be
submitted by the CLIENT with representative samples for test. When necessary,
certification body may adopt on-site sampling / seal-samples method to obtain
the samples.
CLIENT shall guarantee that all the samples provided are consistent with actual
products. Certification body and/or laboratory shall inspect the authenticity of the
samples. If laboratory has any doubt on the authenticity of the samples, it shall
explain the situation to certification body and handle it accordingly.
According to relevant regulations and documents issued by CNCA, certification
body shall specify the list of critical components and materials used in the
product and relevant requirements in the certification implementation rules.
For critical components and materials within the scope of compulsory product
certification purchased in China, the manufacturer shall provide a compulsory
product certification certificate. For critical components and materials within the
scope of non-mandatory product certification, the certification body shall specify
the conditions and specific requirements for acceptable or recognized voluntary
certification certificates or type test reports in the certification implementation
rules.
7.1.3 Test items of type test
In principle, it shall include all applicable items specified in product standards.
When design appraisal is involved in the implementation of certification, part of
the testing items required to be tested shall be determined by the certification
body, and the CLIENT shall be notified.
7.1.4 Implementation of type test
In principle, type test shall be conducted in the laboratory designated by CNCA.
Laboratory shall conduct the type test to the samples, integrally record the whole
test and archive for retaining, so that the test process and results are traceable.
On the premise of not affecting the validity of certification results, certification
body may, according to "China Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules -
Utilization of Manufacturing Enterprise Test Resource and Other Certification
Results”, formulate the corresponding management procedure. The designated
laboratories delegate the testing personnel, according to the standard’s
requirements, to utilize the manufacturing testing resource to conduct test or
witness test; and the designated laboratories issue the test reports. The
designated s...
