1. Scope of application
This Rules applies to the CQC mark safety certification of electronic switches,
remote-control switches, and time-delay switches for household and similar
fixed electrical installations for indoor or outdoor use. The applicable products
include:
Electronic switches: Electronic switches that operate lighting circuits, control
the brightness of lights (dimmers), control the speed of electric motors (for
exhaust fans, etc.), and are used for other purposes (e.g. electric heating
devices). The operating voltage of these switches does not exceed 250 V AC,
and the rated current does not exceed 16 A. The above-mentioned
manipulation and control are realized artificially through starting elements,
sensing surfaces and sensing devices by means of touch, approach, rotation,
light, sound, heat or other influences.
Remote-control switches: Electromagnetic remote-control switches of which
the rated voltage does not exceed 440 V and the rated current does not exceed
63 A; electronic remote-control switches of which the rated voltage does not
exceed 250 V and the rated current does not exceed 16 A.
Time-delay switches: Time-delay switches of which the rated voltage does not
exceed 440 V and the rated current does not exceed 63 A; for household and
similar fixed electrical installations for indoor or outdoor use; operated manually
and/or remotely; equipped with mechanical, thermal, pneumatic, hydraulic or
electrical time-delay devices, or any combination of the above-mentioned time-
delay devices.
2. Certification mode
CQC safety certification mode for switches for electrical installations is: product
type test + initial factory inspection + after-certification supervision.
The basic steps of certification include:
a. Certification application.
b. Type test.
c. Initial factory inspection.
d. Evaluation and approval of certification results.
e. After-certification supervision.
3. Certification application
3.1 Division of certification units
Application units are divided according to the operation and control method,
load type, and presence or absence of screw terminals of products.
The same type of products with basically the same structure, the same
functions, and the same materials can be regarded as an application unit.
Products from different production sites are considered as different application
units. Products of different manufacturers are considered as different
application units.
3.2 Materials submitted for certification application
3.2.1 Application materials
a. Formal application form (print after filling in the application form online, or
download a blank application form and fill in).
b. Factory inspection questionnaire (when first applying).
c. Product description (CQC11-461233.01-2009).
3.2.2 Proof materials
a. Certificate of registration of applicant, manufacturer, production factory,
such as business license, organization code.
b. If the applicant, manufacturer and production factory are not the same, a
two- or three-party cooperation agreement is required.
c. Agent’s power of attorney (if any).
d. Effective supervision inspection report or factory inspection report (if any).
e. Other required documents.
3.2.3 Providing product-related materials
a. Product assembly drawing, electrical schematic diagram, wiring diagram,
product instructions, etc.
b. Electrical parameter table.
c. List of critical raw materials / components / parts (see CQC11-461233.01-
are kept by the testing agency, and the samples are disposed of in accordance
with the relevant CQC regulations.
4.2 Type test
4.2.1 Standards
GB 16915.1-2003 “Switches for household and similar fixed-electrical
installations - Part 1: General requirements”
GB 16915.2-2000 “Switches for household and similar fixed-electrical
installations - Part 2: Particular requirements - Section 1: Electronic switches”
GB 16915.3-2000 “Switches for household and similar fixed electrical
installations - Part 2: Particular requirements - Section 2: Remote-control
switches (RCS)”
GB 16915.4-2003 “Switches for household and similar fixed-electrical
installations - Part 2: Particular requirements - Section 3: Time-delay switches
(TDS)”
4.2.2 Test items and requirements
Product test items are all the applicable items specified in the standards, except
electromagnetic compatibility.
4.2.3 Test methods
The test is carried out in accordance with the test methods and/or criterion
specified and/or referenced by the standards.
4.2.4 Time limit of type test
Generally, 30 working days (the time for the enterprise to make rectifications
and re-inspections due to the unqualified test items is not included). It is
counted from receipt of samples and test costs.
4.2.5 Determination
Type test shall meet the requirements of the product standards.
If any one item does not meet the requirements of the standards, it is
determined that the certification unit product does not meet the certification
requirements. If part of the type test items fails, the applicant is allowed to make
rectification. The rectification shall be completed within the time limit specified
by the certification body (counted from the date of the notification of type test
non-conformity). Failure to complete the rectification on time shall be deemed
Notes:
(1) Routine inspection is a 100 % inspection of products on the production line at the final stage
of production. Generally, after inspection, no further processing is required except for
packaging and labeling. Confirmation inspection is a sampling inspection to verify that the
product continues to meet the requirements of the standard;
(2) Confirmation inspection shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the
standards;
(3) Routine inspection is allowed to be carried out by equivalent and fast methods determined
after verification;
(4) During confirmation inspection, if the factory does not have the test equipment, the
laboratory can be entrusted to carry out the inspection.
5.1.2 Product consistency inspection
During factory inspection, the consistency of the products applying for
certification shall be inspected at the production site, and the following shall be
inspected in particular.
1) The identification of the product to be certified shall be consistent with the
information indicated on the type test report;
2) The structure of the product to be certified shall be consistent with that in
the type test report;
3) The critical raw materials / components / parts used in the product to be
certified shall be consistent with those in the type test report;
4) If multiple series of products are involved, at least one specification model
of each series of products shall be selected for consistency inspection.
During factory inspection,...
