Spare-Parts in welding Machines

According to CNCA, spare parts that do not require a CCC Mark are exceptional cases. Article 2, 4 and 5 of *Document No. 8 * (not translated into English) contains the guidelines for CCC Mark exemptions. CNCA explains that a spare part is one whose function is part of the operation of a complete machine. Structurally, it must be combined with other parts to make a whole. A spare or replacement part that is to be assembled into a whole machine does not require a CCC Mark.

However, if the spare or replacement part is sold other than as a spare or replacement part for a specific machine, it would require a CCC Mark. For example, new parts used to replace a broken breaker, a faulty cable in a manufacturing tool or a non-functioning server power cord would be considered replacement/spare parts, while an entirely new machine used to replace a broken one would NOT be considered a replacement part.

For further clarification, to qualify as a spare/replacement part and the CCC Mark exemption, the part MUST be imported for a specific end-use. If the product is destined for re-export, it does not need a CCC Mark.

To clarify, products in the CCC Mark catalogue destined for re-export, though not requiring the CCC Mark, must apply for the CCC Mark exemption]/. If the spare or replacement part is destined for sale or use other than in a specific replacement function in China (and is listed in the First Catalog), it MUST have a CCC Mark.
