Type approval refers to the assessment
process in which the China Classification Society (CCS) confirms that the
manufacturer has the ability to continuously produce products that meet the
requirements of CCS rules or other acceptable standards through product design
evaluation and manufacturing evaluation. Based on the credibility of product
quality assurance verified by manufacturing evaluation, type approval is
divided into Mode A and Mode B.
Mode A type approval is the high-level approval to be
granted to the manufacturer with high quality, based on the Mode B type
approval. Mode A type approval = Mode B type approval + the perfect Q.A. system
of the manufacturer + reliable quality of the products. For the manufacturer
which has obtained Mode A type approval, CCS accepts that the field inspection
of the surveyor can be replaced partly or totally by the quality statements
supplied by quality inspector (designated) of the manufacturer.
Mode B type approval refers to the
approval granted by CCS for the finalized design and fitness for purpose of the
product meeting the applicable requirements of relevant codes and standards when
CCS confirms that the products, the production and test equipment of the
manufacturer, and the system of basic quality control comply with the
regulations of CCS rules after the review of the product drawings and technical
documents, verification of related technology, approval tests and field audit.
