Superior administrations
The CQC is under control of the China Certification & Inspection Group, which is approved by the
State General Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine and the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China.
History
The administration evolved from the former China Commission for Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment, which was founded in 1985. In April 2002, the CQC was founded as a result of merging several organizations and administrative agencies (among them China National Import & Export Commodities Inspection Corporation Quality Certification Centre, Electrical Equipment Subcommittee, Home Appliance Subcommittee and CCIB Beijing Review Office). In September 2007, the authority was restructured in 2007. In 2014, CQC is the largest certification authority in China.
