remote-control switches, and time-delay switches for household and similar
fixed electrical installations for indoor or outdoor use. The applicable products
include:
Electronic switches: Electronic switches that operate lighting circuits, control
the brightness of lights (dimmers), control the speed of electric motors (for
exhaust fans, etc.), and are used for other purposes (e.g. electric heating
devices). The operating voltage of these switches does not exceed 250 V AC,
and the rated current does not exceed 16 A. The above-mentioned
manipulation and control are realized artificially through starting elements,
sensing surfaces and sensing devices by means of touch, approach, rotation,
light, sound, heat or other influences.

the rated voltage does not exceed 440 V and the rated current does not exceed
63 A; electronic remote-control switches of which the rated voltage does not
exceed 250 V and the rated current does not exceed 16 A.
Time-delay switches: Time-delay switches of which the rated voltage does not
exceed 440 V and the rated current does not exceed 63 A; for household and
similar fixed electrical installations for indoor or outdoor use; operated manually
and/or remotely; equipped with mechanical, thermal, pneumatic, hydraulic or
electrical time-delay devices, or any combination of the above-mentioned time-
delay devices.

The test is carried out in accordance with the test methods and/or criterion
specified and/or referenced by the standards.
4.2.4 Time limit of type test
Generally, 30 working days (the time for the enterprise to make rectifications
and re-inspections due to the unqualified test items is not included). It is
counted from receipt of samples and test costs.
4.2.5 Determination
Type test shall meet the requirements of the product standards.
If any one item does not meet the requirements of the standards, it is
determined that the certification unit product does not meet the certification
requirements. If part of the type test items fails, the applicant is allowed to make
rectification. The rectification shall be completed within the time limit specified
by the certification body (counted from the date of the notification of type test
non-conformity). Failure to complete the rectification on time shall be deemed
Notes:
(1) Routine inspection is a 100 % inspection of products on the production line at the final stage
of production. Generally, after inspection, no further processing is required except for
packaging and labeling. Confirmation inspection is a sampling inspection to verify that the
product continues to meet the requirements of the standard;
(2) Confirmation inspection shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the
standards;
(3) Routine inspection is allowed to be carried out by equivalent and fast methods determined
after verification;
(4) During confirmation inspection, if the factory does not have the test equipment, the
laboratory can be entrusted to carry out the inspection.
5.1.2 Product consistency inspection
During factory inspection, the consistency of the products applying for
certification shall be inspected at the production site, and the following shall be
inspected in particular.
1) The identification of the product to be certified shall be consistent with the
information indicated on the type test report;
2) The structure of the product to be certified shall be consistent with that in
the type test report;
3) The critical raw materials / components / parts used in the product to be
