Meaning
An official administrative application submitted to the State Radio Regulatory Commission is required for all radio transmission equipment imported into or sold within the People’s Republic of China. A successful srrc filing confirms that the wireless product operates within the mandated frequency bands and meets the strict national limits for radio emissions. This process governs the commercial distribution of any device containing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular modules.
It stops applying if the radio hardware is modified.
Technical Requirement
Radio spectrum authority guidelines prevent unauthorized frequencies from being used by consumer electronics. In preparing an srrc filing, the applicant must provide complete schematics, block diagrams, and operational descriptions of the radio module. This documentation is reviewed alongside laboratory test reports to verify compliance with Chinese national radio standards.
Approval certificates are issued.
Testing Protocol
Accredited domestic laboratories run test cases to verify the power output and frequency tolerance of the device. The srrc filing requires physical sample testing within China to prove the radio cannot be easily reconfigured to operate on restricted frequencies. This independent verification confirms that the radio parameters match the submitted documentation.
Test reports are finalized.
Market Certification
Customs authorities inspect incoming shipments of electronics to verify their regulatory markings. Once the srrc filing is approved, the product receives a unique ID code that must be printed on the product label. This marking allows the device to pass through Chinese customs without delay.
Cargo transit remains smooth.
