The meaning of CR mark
The overall image of the CR logo is a pictographic evolution of the letter R nested within the letter C, presenting a full circle that sets off a vivid robot image. The letter C is the first letter of China and Certification, and R is the first letter of Robot. The logo can be interpreted as Robot Certification or China Robot Certification. It expresses that with the vigorous development of the robot industry and the continuous expansion of application fields, quality issues such as robot safety and reliability have attracted widespread public attention.
Experts say the circular symbol represents protection and infinity, perfection and completeness. Smart robots move freely in a circle, which represents that the robot industry is full of unlimited energy and power under the protection of certification. It also means that the industry is booming and the future will be perfect and harmonious.
The orange color of the CR logo is widely used in safety colors and has serious and professional qualities, implying that the influence and credibility of robot certification can be demonstrated. In the future, the "China Robot Certification (CR)" mark will serve as the unified mark for China's robot certification. Approved robot product certification agencies will uniformly use this mark for robot certification. This will help establish a unified image of China's robot certification. Easy to identify, publicize, adopt and promote.
In the process of using the logo, the name of the certification agency is combined with the basic pattern to reflect the main certification responsibility of the certification agency. The attached letters represent the certification type: S represents safety certification, E represents electromagnetic compatibility certification, and E and S appear together to represent comprehensive safety and electromagnetic compatibility certification, which facilitates the judgment of the market and customers.
There are generally two modes for applying for CR certification of Chinese robots:
Mode A: Type test, the certification certificate is only valid for submitted samples (add the product sequence to the certificate), and the certificate is valid for 3 years;
Mode B: type test + factory inspection + post-certification supervision (the certificate is applicable to products of the same model shipped from the factory), and the certificate is valid for 5 years.
The difference between A and B modes: B mode requires a robot label, which is a logo. Mode A has no labels.
Robot CR certification is currently non-compulsory certification, and CCC certification is China's compulsory certification. If you want to sell in China, you need CCC certification, provided that the product is in the 3C catalog. It should be pointed out that many robot products currently apply for CCC certification according to the CCC product certification scope of Category 08 audio and video equipment, Category 09 information technology equipment, and Category 16 telecommunications terminal equipment. In addition, according to the explanation of document No. TC03-2019-01 by the China Quality Certification Center of the Secretariat of the TC03 Technical Expert Group of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration, for those who can move autonomously according to preset programs and provide services such as: mobile guidance, transmission, cleaning, etc. Functional electronic products in the form of robots (such as welcome robots, food delivery robots, etc.) do not fall into categories 08, 09, and 16 of the mandatory products.
