The purpose of this book is to help companies around the world to obtain their China CCC certification without needing expensive certification consulting services which for many are currently the only means of obtaining CCC in a fast and safe way- and no, of course you don't have to know Chinese. Until now, the important issue of CCC certification has not been covered extensively due to the difficulty of obtaining the necessary information from trustworthy sources. People who hold comprehensive CCC-knowledge are bound to keep their knowledge locked up in order to "sell fish, not nets". The author of this book worked for the two most prominent German CCC certification consulting companies in all areas of service. During these assignments, he gained the practical knowledge for the creation of this piece of writing. After leaving the last consulting firm from the position of managing consultant more research was conducted together with Chinese assistants and German industry councils to ensure the veracity of the information offered in this book. Today there are many online tools which enable companies to conduct CCC certification themselves and thereby maintain greater control over the costs and time efforts that they choose to invest. Through lecture of this book, you will be enabled to conduct a CCC certification for your organization. However, no liability can be assumed for claims made in this book and very complex certification projects may still need some support of competent consultancies. To this end, this book contains an extensive chapter on external consulting. To aid companies in the selection of apt certification consulting companies you will find in the second chapter a listing of all known and competent consulting companies and some advice to help you negotiate better prices. You can also use this book to better understand how the consulting companies work and how to conduct your projects with them with greater fluidity, less hassle and misunderstandings. These things said, let us move into the matter and you will hopefully derive a lot of important knowledge from the lecture of this book, which I compiled with great care and a strong will to help companies all over the world to facilitate their business with China.
About the Author: Joachim Görbert worked close to six years in China consulting, first for MPR (www.bmpr.de, www.China-Certification.com), later for Cisema (www.cisema.com). In both cases, he worked in leading positions and gained ample practical and technical know-how on Chinese certification systems, especially CCC. Through his work, both companies were able to establish business relationships with US-companies (Mr. Görbert helped launch MPR's and Cisema's US-subsidiaries, both in Chicago). Mr. Görbert left his employment at Cisema in 2013 to build his own business. While primarily focusing on consulting for small and mid-sized firms all over the world - something he feels true passion for - Mr. Görbert is also member of the CCC expert council of the German Society for Economic Cooperation, giving speeches and seminars on CCC and Chinese customs, logistics and quality assurance. With his "Full Guide to Independent Self-Certification" for China CCC, he wants to aid companies in lowering compliance and homologation costs so that these resources can flow into more productive activities.
