7.3.4Product Certification Classifications

Product certification is classified into compulsory certification and non-compulsory certification.

Compulsory certification

Many countries and regions define compulsory certification marks to facilitate market supervision of the commodity inspection organizations. For example, the Certification Europe (CE) mark, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mark in U.S.A, and China Compulsory Certificate (CCC) mark are compulsory certification marks. Only the products with required compulsory certification marks can be sold in the relevant countries or regions.

Non-compulsory certification

Non-compulsory certification is also called voluntary certification. Compared with compulsory certification marks, the certification marks issued by independent certification bodies are more common in international trade. The PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB) in America and the Global Certification Forum (GCF) in Europe are two typical examples of non-compulsory certification marks. Non-compulsory certification marks are issued by authorized non- governmental certification bodies based on the product liability laws in relevant countries and are recognized by the local governments. Compared with governmental bodies, non-governmental certification bodies are more professional with better test conditions and more positive certification measures. In addition, non-governmental certification bodies are under supervision of their authorizing administrations. For these reasons, the certification marks issued by non-governmental certification bodies are widely recognized in the market and are essential to international trade.

7.3.5Certification Modes

DOC

By affixing a certification mark to a product, the manufacturer declares that the product is compliant with the relevant certification standards. For example, a manufacturer declares that its product complies with relevant EU directives if it affixes a CE mark to the product.

NB certification

By affixing a certification mark issued by an authorized certification body to a product, the manufacturer declares that the product passes the NB certification tests and complies with the relevant certification standards. The CE0682 mark issued by CETECOM, the UL mark issued by UL, and the GS mark issued by TUV Rheinland are three examples of NB certification marks.

NB certification is used for Huawei modules in most cases.
