CNCA explained implementation of CNCA-C10-01:2026 for luminaires and CNCA-C10-02:2026 for ballasts. The guidance emphasises product-quality control, production consistency, sampling and post-certification supervision.
Certification bodies may use either the previous or 2026 rules through December 31, 2026 at the applicant's choice. From January 1, 2027, new CCC work must follow the 2026 rules. Existing valid certificates remain usable and may transition naturally through product changes or renewal rather than immediate replacement.
Impact
Impact assessment: High. The guidance controls how mandatory CCC certification and surveillance will transition to the 2026 implementation rules.
Who is affected?
Luminaire and ballast manufacturers, Chinese importers, CCC certificate holders, certification bodies, laboratories, factories and market-access teams.
Conclusion:
Update CCC application files, factory-control documentation and surveillance readiness before January 1, 2027; existing certificates do not require immediate replacement solely because of the new rules.
