Specification of SRRC Certification

SRRC stands for State Radio Regulation Committee. In 1998, the State Radio Monitoring Center and the State

Radio Spectrum Management Center merged to form the China National Radio Monitoring Center.

SRRC certification is China's radio transmitter equipment type approval certificate and is a mandatory wireless certification. It is regulated by the State Radio Administration. It applies to all wireless products sold or used in China, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G devices, etc. Products that pass the certification will receive a unique SRRC ID (such as CMIIT ID), which must be marked on the device.

Why SRRC Certification Compliance Matters

Legal Consequences of Non-Compliance

Uncertified wireless devices face confiscation, fines (up to 3x product value), and sales bans in China. Repeat violations may trigger blacklisting and criminal liability under Radio Management Law for severe spectrum interference cases. SRRC certification is mandatory to avoid these penalties.

Market Access Barriers

Uncertified wireless devices are barred from Chinese markets. Major platforms (JD/Tmall) delist products lacking CMIIT IDs, while telecom carriers block network access. Physical retailers face inspections. SRRC approval remains mandatory alongside CCC for full market authorization.

Business Reputation Risks

Non-compliance damages brand credibility with Chinese partners and consumers. Distributors avoid uncertified products due to liability concerns. Procurement departments mandate SRRC documentation for tenders. Negative regulatory actions become public record, potentially affecting stock valuations for listed companies. Industry associations may revoke memberships, limiting participation in key sector developments.

Operational Advantages of Compliance

Certified devices clear customs faster (3-5 days vs weeks) and gain priority in government bids. The CMIIT ID enables premium pricing, simplifies global approvals, and maintains access to China's $150B+ wireless market. Compliance renewal ensures ongoing market advantages.

How SRRC Certification Helps Legalize Radio Transmission in China

In the Chinese radio equipment market, SRRC certification (National Radio Model Approval Certification) is the core mechanism to ensure the legal transmission of equipment. This certification is enforced by the Radio Management Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Through technical review and spectrum control, a healthy and orderly radio environment has been built.

1. Standardized management of spectrum resources:

SRRC certification strictly reviews the working frequency band, transmission power and bandwidth parameters of the equipment to ensure compliance with the "Regulations on Radio Frequency Division of the People's Republic of China". For example:

• Restrict Wi-Fi devices to use the 5.8GHz China-exclusive frequency band

• Calibrate the transmission power of Bluetooth devices to within 10mW

• Avoid signal interference and spectrum conflicts from the source.

2. Mandatory constraints on equipment technical compliance：

• Require manufacturers to complete radio frequency testing through laboratories authorized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology;

• Issue CMIIT ID (such as 2023DP1234) as the only legal identification;

• E-commerce platforms and customs verify the legality of equipment based on the code.

3. Double maintenance of market order：

• For manufacturers: Uncertified products will face production license revocation and a fine of up to 100,000 yuan;

• For users: Use of illegal equipment requires legal responsibility for signal interference.
