LED Control Device CCC Certification: 7 Core Rules for Unit Division & Complete Document Checklist

As the "heart" of lighting products, CCC certification for LED control devices is an essential pass for entering China’s market. However, the "certification unit division" link in the certification process is like a double-edged sword—proper division ensures a smooth, efficient, and cost-controllable certification journey; inaccurate division easily leads to repeated testing, prolonged cycles, or even certification failure. To help manufacturers fully clarify the rules and avoid common pitfalls, GTG Testing Group, based on years of practical experience, has thoroughly sorted out the 7 core rules for CCC certification unit division and a complete application document checklist, helping your products pass certification at one go and launch quickly.

7 Core Rules for CCC Certification Unit Division of LED Control Devices

1. Consistent Installation Method

The installation method of LED driver control devices (independent, built-in, or integrated) is a key basis for unit division. Products with different installation methods must be divided into separate units to ensure tests cover actual usage scenarios.

2. Consistent Protection Against Electric Shock Rating

The protection against electric shock rating (e.g., Class I, II, or III equipment) directly affects product safety design. Products within the same unit must have the same protection against electric shock rating; otherwise, they need to be divided separately.

3. Consistent Dust and Water Protection Level (IP Code)

A product’s dust and water protection level (e.g., IP20, IP65) determines its applicable environment. Products with different IP codes must be classified into different units to ensure test conditions match actual protection requirements.

4. Consistent Output Protection Against Electric Shock Method

The output protection against electric shock method (e.g., SELV - Safety Extra-Low Voltage, non-isolated, or autotransformer type) is a critical factor for unit division. Products with different output methods require separate testing.

5. Consistent Output Mode

The output mode of LED drivers (e.g., constant current or constant voltage) directly affects electrical performance testing. Products within the same unit must have the same output mode; otherwise, the unit needs to be split.

6. Similar Circuit Principles and Consistent Structure

The circuit principles and component layouts of a series of LED driver models must be similar, and their product structures must be identical.

7. 5W Input Power as the Dividing Line

The new version of the standard has different testing requirements for products with input power ＜5W and ≥5W.Manufacturers must divide units by power to avoid incomplete testing due to power differences.

Friendly Reminder

Proper unit division not only reduces repeated testing but also optimizes certification costs and time. It is recommended that manufacturers strictly classify products according to the above rules before applying for CCC certification. If you have any questions, feel free to consult GTG Testing Group!
