after-certification production on-site sampling test or inspection;
Certification body shall, in accordance with requirements of “China Compulsory
Certification Implementation Rules - Manufacturing Enterprise Classification
Management, Certification Mode Selection and Determination”, implement
classification management of manufacturing enterprises. In combination with
classification management results, on the basis of basic certification mode, it shall also
add relevant elements such as after-certification follow-up inspection and
after-certification field-of-use sampling test or inspection as appropriate, so as to
determine the certification mode suitable for certification client. [TRANSLATOR NOTE
is not part of this Rules. Translator note: “certification client”, the counterpart of
certification body, refers to the Applicant / Manufacturer or its proxy (Power of
Attorney). For ease of reading, hereinafter abbreviated as “CLIENT”].
4 Division of certification units
In principle, products of the same producer (manufacturer), the same manufacturing
enterprise (factory), the same category, and the same main circuit design are one
certification unit.
CLIENT shall submit a certification entrusting based on the unit division principles.
For the division of certification units, see Attachment "Compulsory Certification Unit
Division and Basis-Standards - Fire Alarm Products".

conduct the type test to the samples, integrally record the whole test and archive for
retaining, so that the test process and results are traceable.
6.1.4 Report of type test
Certification body shall specify a unified form of type test report.
After the type test is completed, the laboratory shall issue a type test report to the
certification body and the CLIENT in time. The test report shall contain a description of
all product and certification-related information in the application unit. The CLIENT
shall ensure that, during the after-certification supervision, a complete and valid type test
report can be provided to the certification body and the law enforcement agency.
