Revision of previous versions of the Rules:
——CQC16-491261-2018, release date: December 23, 2019, implementation date: January 1, 2020;
The main amendments to the Rules are as follows:
1. The scope of application adds the mandatory product certification implementation rules CNCA-C11-12:2014 for the automotive seat and head restraint products within the scope of certification;
2. Increase the use of other test reports in type test;
3. The certification of after-sales maintenance spare parts for discontinued models can be deleted according to the old version of the standard.
1. Scope of application
This rule applies to the seats of M and N vehicles and the head restraint products used for the above seats (excluding rear-facing seats and the head restraints installed on these seats and the seat systems used by child occupants). Other seat and head restraint products for vehicles can be used by reference.
The adjustment of the scope of application caused by changes in laws and regulations or related product standards, technologies, industrial policies and other factors shall be subject to the announcement issued by China Quality Certification Center (CQC).
2. Authentication mode
The certification mode of automobile seat and head restraint products is: type test+initial factory inspection+supervision after certification
The basic steps of certification include:
A. Certification application
B. Product type test
C. Initial factory inspection
D. Evaluation and approval of certification results
E. Supervision after certification
The initial factory inspection shall be conducted according to the production consistency inspection method. According to the different organization and production methods and product characteristics of products, differentiated production consistency inspection and post-certification supervision can be adopted in the specific implementation.
3. Certification application
3.1 Division of certification units
In principle, the car seat and head restraint products produced by the same manufacturer (manufacturer) and the same manufacturing enterprise (place) with no significant difference in the following aspects are a certification unit:
(1) Applicable vehicle type and installation position on the vehicle;
(2) The structure, shape, size, material and quality of the seat allow the cover and color of the seat to be different; The quality difference of products in the same unit shall be within 5%;
(3) Type and size of adjustment device, displacement device and locking device of seat, backrest and their components;
(4) Type and size of seat fixing device;
(5) Dimensions, structure and materials of accessories and supports (seat legs) of passenger seats;
(6) The size, skeleton, material and filler of the head restraint allow the color and cover of the head restraint to be different;
(7) Type and size of head restraint attachment device. If the head restraint is directly connected to the vehicle body, it also includes the type and size of the vehicle body part connected to the head restraint.
The certification client shall propose certification entrustment according to the principle of unit division. The same unit can contain multiple models of products. The same model refers to products that have no impact on the standard compliance in design.
The same products produced by the same manufacturer and different manufacturing enterprises (should have the same production process and the same key parts/raw material suppliers), or the same products produced by different manufacturers and the same manufacturing enterprises, should be different application units, but only one unit of samples can be considered for type test, and the products of other manufacturers/producers need to provide data for consistency verification.
3.2 Submittals for certification application
The certification client submits the certification entrustment to CQC through the network (www.cqc. com. cn). The certification client needs to fill in the necessary enterprise information and product information as required. CQC shall review the application according to the relevant requirements, issue a notice of acceptance or rejection, or request the certification client to make rectification and resubmit the certification application.
4. Type test
4.1 Type test scheme
For the certification entrustment requiring type test, after the application data are approved, CQC shall formulate the type test plan according to the unit division principle and the certification standards, and notify the certification entrustment. The type test plan includes the sample requirements, test standards and items, laboratory information, etc. for unit or unit combination sample sending/sampling. If there is only one model in the application unit, send the sample of this model. When multiple models/specifications are included in the same unit, the representative models/specifications shall be selected for the samples, and the selected samples shall cover the structural parameters of other products and the manufacturers of key parts/raw materials as much as possible.
4.2 Requirements for type test samples
4.2.1 Basic requirements
The type test sample shall be the product produced by the certified manufacturer according to the normal processing method. The certification client shall ensure the consistency of the samples it provides with the actual production products, and shall not borrow, rent or purchase samples for testing. CQC and/or the laboratory shall review the authenticity of the samples provided by the certification client. If the laboratory has doubts about the authenticity of the sample, it shall explain the situation to CQC and make corresponding treatment.
4.3 Standards and test items
GB15083-2019 Requirements and test methods for strength of automobile seats, seat anchorages and head restraints
GB11550-2009 Strength Requirements and Test Methods for Automotive Seat Headrest
GB13057-2014 Strength of passenger car seats and their vehicle fixings
GB24406-2012 Strength of student seat system and its vehicle fixing parts for special school buses
GB8410-2006 Combustion Characteristics of Automotive Interior Materials
5. Initial factory inspection
5.1 Basic requirements
The manufacturer or factory shall establish, implement and continuously maintain its production consistency control system in accordance with the requirements of Annex 2 of these Rules to ensure that the certified products continue to meet the certification requirements. CQC checks the conformity of the factory's production conformity control system. The initial factory inspection shall be conducted in the way of production consistency control plan review+production consistency factory on-site inspection (factory on-site inspection for short).
Generally, the factory site inspection shall be conducted after the type test is qualified and the production consistency control plan is reviewed. If necessary,
Product type test and factory site inspection can also be carried out at the same time.
In principle, the review of production consistency control plan and factory site inspection shall be completed within one year after the type test is qualified, otherwise, the product type test shall be conducted again.
Subsequent applications for similar products of the same enterprise are exempt from the review of the production consistency control plan and the factory on-site inspection, and only the supervision and inspection after the certificate is obtained.
6. Evaluation and approval of certification results
7. Supervision after certification
8. Certification certificate
9. Charges
Certification fee shall be charged according to relevant regulations of CQC.
10. Certification responsibilities
CQC is responsible for its certification conclusions.
The laboratory shall be responsible for the test results and test reports.
The certification client shall be responsible for the authenticity and legality of the entrusted materials and samples submitted by him.
11. Technical disputes and appeals
Complaints, complaints and disputes raised by the certification client shall be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of CQC.
