CNCA & SAMR Tightening Certification Control and Report Integrity

China Flag

16-SEP-26

The State Administration for Market Regulation and the Certification and Accreditation Administration have released mandatory measures designed to eliminate fraudulent certification activities and enhance market oversight. This dual initiative targets both the operational timelines of certification bodies and the technical integrity of test reports issued across the market.

Under Announcement Number 28 of 2026, which takes effect on 30 September 2026, certification bodies operating within the territory must adhere to rigorous reporting deadlines on the unified business information system. Certification plans must be registered at least three days prior to implementation, with strict cut-offs for plan modifications or cancellations. Furthermore, details regarding audit activities, personnel, and subject entities must be uploaded within one day of result generation, while changes in certificate status such as issuance, suspension, or withdrawal must be logged immediately. Authorities have also prohibited certification bodies from relying solely on official government portals for validation, mandating that each body host a free, real-time public verification system on its own platform.

Complementing these administrative rules, market authorities have upgraded the national inspection and testing report query system. The system incorporates blockchain record-keeping and unique hash algorithm generation to prevent document alteration. When testing laboratories upload original electronic reports via the dedicated desktop client, the platform binds a unique cryptographic hash to the report number, creating an immutable audit trail. To further strengthen accountability, user accounts are strictly tied to single institutions with mandatory email verification, and public query fields now display applicant details, authorized signatories, and direct contact information alongside standard metadata.

These joint measures represent a significant elevation in regulatory enforcement, aligning administrative oversight with advanced technical controls. Manufacturers and approval holders must ensure that their supply chain partners and testing facilities comply fully with these updated reporting protocols to prevent market access disruptions or administrative penalties.
