With increasing investment in infrastructure and power energy, the low-voltage switchgear assembly industry has seen a large potential space for development and a year-on-year increase in market demand. This stimulates the development of the industry, results in a significant increase in the number of manufacturers, faster product ｕｐｄａｔｅs and increasing product varieties, and makes product standards closer to international standards.

In order to meet the requirements of China’s accession to the WTO and international economic integration, the country implements a compulsory certification system on the products involving human health and safety, animal and plant life and health, environmental protection and public safety. The name of the certification mark is "China Compulsory Certification", commonly known as “3C” mark. Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, including busbar trunking systems (busways), distribution boards, assemblies for construction sites (ACS), and cable distribution cabinets (CDCs) for power distribution in networks, are covered under the Implementation Rules for Compulsory Certification of Electrical and Electronic Products.
