The CCC mark is assigned to specific products and the factory that produces them. The Rockwell Automation CCC-certified safety product lines include cable pull switches (Lifeline), monitoring safety relays (MSR) and safety switches (Elf, Cadet 3, Trojan, MT-GD2, TLS, Spartan, 440G-MT, Atlas5).

These products are manufactured at the company's facilities in Germany, the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom. In addition, Rockwell Automation is pursuing certification for other safety product lines, including non-contact interlock switches and additional safety relays.

The completion by Rockwell Automation of the extensive, five-step application process saves OEMs time and money by eliminating the need for them to go back and certify the products themselves.

The process took approximately nine months to complete and included several applications with supporting technical materials, product testing and factory inspections.

Other CCC-certified Rockwell Automation product lines include motor control centres, contactors and accessories, circuit breakers, smart motor controllers, electronic overload relays, pushbuttons and indicators, and the control relay 700 series.

The Chinese government agency Certification and Accreditation Administration created the CCC mark in 2002 and issued a catalogue of 132 product categories required to obtain the certification before exporting or selling those products to China.

Safety products subject to the CCC mark include relays, switches, controllers and contactors that operate above 36 volts. However, not all safety products need the CCC mark to be commissioned in China.

Products that operate below 36 volts, such as GuardShield light curtains, SensaGuard non-contact switches and SmartGuard 600 safety PLCs are not subject to compulsory certification.
