0 Introduction These Rules are formulated based on the safety risks and certification risks of fire extinguishers among fire protection products, and specify the basic principles and requirements for implementing compulsory certification for fire extinguishers used in public places and residences. These Rules are used together with the general implementation rules issued by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration (hereinafter referred to as "CNCA"), including the Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules - Classification Management of Manufacturers, Selection and Determination of Certification Modes, the Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules - Utilization of Manufacturers' Testing Resources and Other Certification Results, the Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules - Factory Quality Assurance Capability Requirements, and the Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules - General Requirements for Factory Inspection. Certification bodies shall formulate detailed certification implementation rules in accordance with the requirements of the general implementation rules and these Rules, and shall implement them together with the general implementation rules and these Rules. Manufacturers shall ensure that the certified products they manufacture continuously meet certification requirements and the requirements of applicable standards. 1 Scope These Rules apply to fire extinguishers used in public places and residences, mainly including the following types: portable fire extinguishers, wheeled fire extinguishers and simplified fire extinguishers. Where the scope of application is adjusted due to changes in laws and regulations, relevant product standards, technology, industrial policies or other factors, the announcements issued by CNCA shall prevail. 2 Normative Standards for Certification The standards forming the basis for certification under these Rules are shown in the Annex Unit Division and Standards Serving as the Basis for Compulsory Certification of Fire Extinguishers. For standards used as the basis for certification testing, the latest editions issued by the national standardization administrative department shall be adopted. Where standards forming the basis are added or removed, or other versions of standards are used, the corresponding announcements issued by CNCA shall be followed. 3 Certification Mode The basic certification mode for compulsory certification of fire extinguishers used in public places and residences is: type test + initial factory inspection + post-certification surveillance. Post-certification surveillance means one or a combination of the following three methods: post-certification follow-up inspection, testing or inspection of samples taken at the production site, and testing or inspection of samples taken from the market. The certification body shall, in accordance with the requirements of the Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules - Classification Management of Manufacturers, Selection and Determination of Certification Modes, implement classification management of manufacturers and, in combination with the classification management results, combine the post-certification surveillance methods to determine the certification mode applicable to the certification client. 4 Certification Unit Division Division of certification units shall comply with the relevant provisions in the Annex Unit Division and Standards Serving as the Basis for Compulsory Certification of Fire Extinguishers. The certification body shall specify the detailed requirements for unit division in its detailed certification implementation rules in accordance with relevant documents issued by CNCA and in combination with classification management of manufacturers. 5 Certification Application 5.1 Submission and Acceptance of the Certification Application The certification client shall submit a certification application to the certification body. The certification body shall process the certification application and provide feedback on acceptance or non-acceptance within the time limits specified in the detailed certification implementation rules. Where the requirements of national laws and regulations and relevant industrial policies are not met, the certification body shall not accept the relevant certification application. 5.2 Certification Application Documentation
