To whom it may concern,
The following GC mark certification related standards for low-voltage electrical equipment are due to be updated during 2022. The implementation date of the new version of the standards is shown in the table below. At that time, the new version of the standard will replace the old version:
Old Version | New Version | Title | Release Date | Enforcement Date |
IEC 60335-1:2010+A1:2013+A2:2016 | IEC 60335-1:2020 | Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements for house hold appliances | 2020/9/2 | 2022/9/2 |
IEC 60335-2-24:2010+A1:2012+A2:2017 | IEC 60335-2-24:2020 | Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice makers | 2020/9/16 | 2022/9/16 |
IEC 60335-2-25:2010+A1:2014+A2:2015 | IEC 60335-2-25:2020 | Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-25: Particular requirements for microwave ovens, including combination microwave ovens | 2020/1/8 | 2022/1/8 |
IEC 60335-2-35:2012 + A1:2016 | IEC 60335-2-35:2012 + A1:2016+A2:2020 | Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-35: Particular requirements for instantaneous water heaters | 2020/6/4 | 2022/6/4 |

CISPR 14-1:2016 | CISPR 14-1:2020 | Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus - Part 1: Emission | 2020/9/7 | 2022/9/7 |
CISPR 14-2:2015 | CISPR 14-2:2020 | Electromagnetic compatibility – Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus – Part 2: Immunity – Product family standard | 2020/8/31 | 2022/8/31 |
The implementation requirements of the new version of the standard are as follows:
1. From the date of implementation of the new version of the standards, CQC will adopt the new version of the standards to implement certification and issue certificates;
2. For products that have obtained GC-mark certification according to the old version of the standards, the certificate holder should submit a standard update application to CQC as soon as possible before the implementation of the new version of the standard. After the implementation of the new version of the standard, failure to apply for a standard update will affect the normal use of the existing certificates.
3. Standard version change may involve supplementary testing, which will be judged by CQC engineers according to the changes in the terms of each standard.
