SRRC-State Radio
Regulatory Commission
is the authority responsible for granting SRRC certificate. This certification
is required for equipment and appliances that have a radio transmitting
function.
It is essential for both
industrial and residential products; no differentiation is established between
the two for certification purpose.
For SRRC type approval, each
and every model has to be certified. However, the recently included modular approval
allows all models in a series to be certified together.
Let’s go through the SRRC
certification requirements briefly, including the document you will need for
modular approval.
SRRC
certification requirements
In order to qualify for the
certification, you must meet these technical aspects: appropriate transmit
power, stray radiation, bandwidth, and most importantly, frequency.
The Chinese government has
strict frequency regulations. Certain frequency ranges are not approved for
public. Depending on the frequency, your device will fall in one of the seven
categories detailed here.
Documentation
requirements for modular approval
These
documents apply for limited, non-independent operation associated end products
alone. Documents required for already embedded modules and those that have been
recently exchanged or added are as follows:
Routine
application
- Copy of your SRRC application
- Circuit diagram dictating how to use or embed the module
Application
for added/exchanged products
- Copy of the end product certificate¾the original certificate should be returned once you acquire the new one)
- Copy of older modular certificate for Limited non-independent operation module
- Copy of new modular certificate for Limited non-independent operation module
- Circuit diagram featuring how to use or embed the module
SRRC
certification process¾in
brief
The process involves following 3
steps:
- Submit the SRRC application
- Send sample modules for testing to an accredited lab in China
- Receive the certification if approved after testing by relevant authorities
After
the testing has been carried out, the report is reviewed by SRRC. The test
requires almost a week while the review may take 4 weeks.
Manufacturers
often find it hard to ensure that all requirements are met by their products. In
such a situation, they require expert product safety design guidance and evaluation
support.
