Should the ccc mark on a new car be removed?
2 Answers
New car ccc marks can be removed. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Certification mark: ccc is China's compulsory certification mark. On one hand, ccc certification protects national interests and avoids property losses, and on the other hand, it restricts the quality issues of foreign manufacturers' brands. 2. Legal provisions: Vehicles must undergo annual inspections on time. Newly manufactured vehicles are exempt from inspection for 6 years after purchase, but they still need to go to the vehicle management office and other institutions to obtain the annual inspection qualification mark every year. For vehicles that do not post the annual inspection qualification mark, the traffic management department has the right to impose fines or even impound the vehicle. During the exemption period, materials such as compulsory insurance certificates need to be submitted to obtain the qualification mark.
The first thing I did after buying my new car was to remove that CCC label. It's usually stuck in the corner of the front windshield, looking unsightly and obstructing the view. After removing it, the car instantly felt much cleaner. Many people hesitate about whether to remove it, worrying about warranty or legal issues, but in fact, the CCC is just a China Compulsory Certification mark, proving the vehicle meets standards. Removing it doesn't affect the warranty because the warranty is based on the VIN recorded in the system. After removal, driving becomes safer as there's no glare interfering with nighttime visibility. I recommend checking the owner's manual or asking the dealer to confirm. If there are no special requirements, go ahead and remove it. Keeping it offers no real benefits—it just collects dust, is hard to clean, and affects aesthetics. I removed mine years ago, passed inspections without any issues.
