SRRC Certification (State Radio Regulatory Commission Certification) is a mandatory certification system for radio transmission equipment in China, implemented by the State Radio Regulatory Commission (SRRC). Below is a detailed explanation of the SRRC Certification:

1. Scope of Certification

Applicable Products: All radio transmitting equipment sold or used within the territory of China, including but not limited to:

Bluetooth Devices (such as headphones, speakers)

WiFi Equipment (Routers, Modules)

2G/3G/4G/5G devices

Two-way radios, equipment

Other devices utilizing radio frequency bands (such as LoRa, ZigBee).

Exemption: Devices that only receive radio signals but do not transmit, such as radios, do not require certification.

2. Certification Process

1. Application Preparation

Confirm the radio frequency bands and technical standards for product use.

Commission a qualified laboratory for testing (to be completed within China).

2. Test Items

RF Parameters (frequency, power, bandwidth, etc.)

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Spurious Emission

Submit Application

Submit test reports, technical documents, and corporate qualifications to the SRRC.

4. Audit and Certification

Upon SRRC approval, a Radio Model Approval Certificate (including CMIIT ID) is issued.

5. Time and Costs

Cycle: Typically 4-8 weeks (depending on product complexity).

Cost: Approximately 10,000 to 50,000 RMB (inclusive of testing and agency service fees).

3. Certification Mark

Certified equipment must be marked with the CMIIT ID (e.g., CMIIT ID: 2023DP1234), usually printed on the product or manual.

4. Important Notes

Imported Equipment: If the equipment has already obtained overseas certification (such as FCC, CE), it still needs to undergo an SRRC test.

Change Management: Modifications to product hardware or software may require re-certification.

Unlicensed Penalties: Selling uncertified equipment may result in fines, removal from shelves, or seizure.

5. Common Questions

Q: What is the relationship between SRRC certification and CCC certification?

A: They are independent, but some equipment may need to meet both requirements simultaneously (such as smart home appliances with WiFi functionality).

Q: Modular Certification?

If the equipment uses modules that have obtained SRRC certification (such as Bluetooth modules), the process of the overall equipment certification can be simplified.
