CQC - China Quality Certification Centre

China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) is a professional certification body under China Certification & Inspection Group (CCIC) approved by State General Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine and Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China.

As the largest professional certification body in China, CQC evolved from the former China Commission for Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment established in 1985. In April 2002, CQC was established by merging 6 institutions under 5 ministries (including former China National Import & Export Commodities Inspection Corporation Quality Certification Centre; the Secretariat, Electrical Equipment Subcommittee, Home Appliance Subcommittee, and Electronics Subcommittee of former China Commission for Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment; and CCIB Beijing Review Office).

In September 2007, a restructuring program was launched and CQC therefore became a dedicated certification platform of the newly-incorporated CCIC.
