Certification Introduction

The full name of SRRC is State Radio Regulation Committee, also known as the State Radio Regulatory Commission. In 1998, the National Radio Monitoring Center and the National Radio Spectrum Management Center merged to form the China National Radio Monitoring Center.

In 1999, the Chinese government established special frequency ranges for different types of radio transmission equipment, and not all frequencies were legally used in China. All radio transmission equipment sold or used in China will be designated with different frequencies. In addition, applicants must pay attention to the prescribed scope of certain wireless transmission equipment, not only applying for "wireless model approval certification", but also applying for China Compulsory Certification (CCC) and/or Network Access Permit (MII) approval.

SRRC certification (also known as SRMC certification) can be understood as radio model approval certification.

The SRRC certification mark does not have a special mark, it is only a set of model approval codes (CMIIT ID: XXXXXXXXXX). The SRRC certification issuing authority is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. The issuing unit is the Radio Management Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The testing unit is SRMC (State Radio Monitoring Center). The National Radio Monitoring Center, etc

Certification significance

In order to strengthen the management of imported and produced radio transmission equipment, all radio transmission equipment exported to the People's Republic of China or produced (including trial production) within the territory of the People's Republic of China must hold a "Radio Transmission Equipment Model Approval Certificate" issued by the State Radio Regulation Committee (SRRC) after its emission characteristics have been approved, and the model approval code (CMIIT ID) must be indicated on the label of the factory equipment before it can be put on the market for sale. Simply put, only radio transmission equipment with China's radio transmission equipment model approval code can be sold and used domestically in China.

At present, some e-commerce platforms have issued requirements for SRRC certification for related products. Please pay attention to this and avoid being taken down in the future due to failure to provide SRRC certification. In addition, the national and local inspections for model approval and certification will become increasingly strict in the future! Several companies have reported being spot checked by relevant departments.

SRRC Model Approval Process

Requirements for application materials and test samples

1. Application Form for Model Approval of Radio Transmission Equipment

2. Commitment Letter for Model Approval of Radio Transmission Equipment

3. Copy of the applicant's business license or legal representative certificate of the public institution (stamped with the applicant's signature), and the overseas applicant shall provide a Chinese translation of the registration certificate and the original registration certificate (stamped with the applicant's signature)

4. The specific agent should submit a power of attorney signed by the applicant and valid identification of the agent. The agent in the application form should be consistent with the authorized agent

5. Materials related to the production capacity, technical strength, and quality management system of wireless transmission equipment.

① For those who have not yet obtained a quality system certificate, submit a detailed introduction of their technical capabilities, production capabilities, and quality assurance system stamped with the applicant's legal representative seal. The proof of production capacity should include at least the main production equipment model, number of sets or production lines, production plan, corresponding testing equipment (facilities), etc.

② If the applicant entrusts a factory to produce, provide the commission contract between the applicant and the factory, as well as the business license and ISO certificate of the commissioned factory.

③ If the applied product has a CCC or CQC certificate, this certificate can be provided to simplify the application materials required by this clause.

6. Equipment user manual, technical manual, circuit diagram, circuit block diagram or schematic diagram related to wireless transceiver function, and list of key RF components.

7. If the model approval code is displayed in electronic form, an explanation for viewing the model approval code and an electronic label style should be provided, and it should comply with the relevant provisions of the "Notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the Electronic Display of Model Approval Codes for Radio Transmission Equipment" (MIIT [2015] No. 211)

8. A set of color photos of the equipment, including photos of the appearance, internal circuit board, and nameplate. The nameplate information should include the manufacturer, product model, model approval code identification style, etc. The photos should be marked with a scale bar

9. Complies with the approved equipment type and sample requirements for wireless transmission devices

Certification fee

Considering that the SRRC testing fee has been cancelled, companies can apply for it free of charge. Due to the complex application process, companies should prepare their applications in advance. Conducting pre testing work can greatly increase the pass rate of applications! To avoid any additional costs or delays in obtaining certification due to failed testing in the future.

The issue of SRRC certification fees and the interpretation of SRRC's free policy

According to the latest policy, SRRC certification is free of charge. After the product is tested and approved, the SRRC certificate can be obtained. If the test results are not qualified, additional testing fees need to be paid. Once the sample test results are not qualified, it is necessary to reapply: the enterprise submits a model certification application - the national agency officially accepts it - the enterprise pays a deposit to the designated testing agency - product testing. This will significantly prolong the certification cycle and affect the product's launch.

Simply put, although the new policy application is free, the application period cannot be guaranteed as before. Entrusting testing and certification agencies to pay commission service fees to help clients obtain SRRC certificates in the shortest possible time.

SRRC certification testing project

The detection content varies depending on the emission frequency of the product. The main detection items include power, spectrum range, frequency tolerance, bandwidth, stray radiation, etc.  

1. The tested equipment model should include testing procedures, methods, standards, conditions, testing connection diagrams, dedicated testing attachments, and the most recent testing report (copies or photocopies are acceptable)

If the transmission port of the tested device belongs to a non-standard interface, it is necessary to provide the test connection cable of the tested device and the cable attenuation value text or chart with the company seal as the basis

If necessary, the applying unit must send engineering and technical personnel to cooperate with the testing

4. It is recommended that companies conduct pre testing on samples before sending them for inspection to increase the pass rate of testing!

SRRC certificate cycle: around 8 weeks; Validity period: Five years

Time schedule and precautions for SRRC certification application

·There will be market supervision spot checks, but no factory inspections

·From December 4th, 2018 to January 31st, 2019, during the self inspection stage (those who do not have a model approval certificate can apply to the corresponding testing institution for processing)

·The first round of spot checks was conducted from February 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019. (Products that do not meet the qualifications can be placed on the shelves after obtaining the qualifications.).

·On February 1, 2019, for the configuration of single item qualification management in the key category system, a single item model calibration certificate needs to be submitted in the VC system when updating.

Special reminder: To avoid certification congestion, please prepare your certification application in advance.
