Product Certification
CCC stands for China Compulsory Certification. Its sign is as follows:-
CCC Mark
The CCC mark is the new compulsory Safety & Quality mark for many products sold on the Chinese market. CCC Mark became effective on the May 1, 2002. It is the result of the recent integration of China's two compulsory inspection systems (one to check contents of products for import and export, and the other for quality control) into a single procedure. The new CCC mark replaces the two old marks, namely CCIB and CCEE used in the two old inspection systems.
ISI MARK
The Indian Standards Institution (ISI) was set up in 1947 as a registered society, under a Government of India resolution. It is now named Bureau of Indian Standards.
Product Certification Scheme is a scheme whereby manufacturers of products interested in producing their products as per relevant Indian Standards are permitted to use the Standard Mark of the Bureau (the popular ISI mark) on their products after obtaining a licence from the Bureau. The pre-requisites for obtaining a licence are that the manufacturer has the necessary manufacturing and testing facility for the product and agrees to follow the quality assurance scheme of the Bureau in addition to payment of necessary fees as stipulated. The licence is initially granted for a period of one year which is renewable for subsequent periods based on satisfactory operation of the scheme. The scheme is voluntary in nature for most products. However, the government has insisted on ISI marking of about 136 products which affect the health and safety of consumers or are products of mass consumption like LPG Cylinders, Food Colours and Additives, Cement, Packaged Drinking Water, etc.

ROHS Certification
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a new European Directive that became effective on July 1, 2006. Electrical and electronic equipment sold in Europe after this date must comply with the strict regulations in this Directive.
The Directive requires that electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU does not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) above the legal threshold. This will effect any organization involved in the production, sale or distribution of electrical and electronic equipment destined for an EU market, such as manufacturers, retailers, brand managers, traders and distributors.

There are two main areas of RoHS compliance risk:
Product material risk: From selecting materials and components in products and using indirect materials in the manufacturing process
Supplier risk: From product variation, engineering or manufacturing changes, multiple suppliers and contamination through the supply chain.

RoHS Product Certification consists of 3 steps:
Documentation Review to determine the status of existing verification documents and the extent of testing needed.
Testing of representative samples according to specific documentation review as well as testing of the homogenous material level for all six restricted substances of RoHS.
Surveillance, if documentation review and testing has confirmed compliance, by conducting an Initial Factory Inspection including an audit of the quality system with respect to Restricted Substances Control.

EUREPGAP
This a kind of global partnership for the safety and sustainable agriculture, a standard, which refers to the certification of agricultural products and lately a global quality insurance system, whose base is the Good Agricultural Practice.
The Euro-Retailer Produce Working Group (EUREP) has developed an auditable standard promoting Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). The scope of GLOBALGAP standard currently covers the production of fruit, vegetables, cut flowers, farm animals and fish. GLOBALGAP certification has support from major European retailers, PMO's and growers on a global basis.
The GLOBALGAP standard is primarily designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare

FDA
FDA is the federal agency responsible for ensuring that foods are safe, wholesome and sanitary; human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices are safe and effective; cosmetics are safe; and electronic products that emit radiation are safe. FDA also ensures that these products are honestly, accurately and informatively represented to the public.
FDA is Applicable on following products:
Food & Beverages
Cosmetics
Drugs
The US Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act) requires domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States to receive a FDA registration number by December 12, 2003. This act also requires that the FDA receives a prior notice of food imported into the United States so that fda certification is not refused. A Fda prior notice is an advance notification to the FDA that food is being imported into the US. The prior notice includes information usually provided by foreign companies to the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when they send food to the US. FDA will now use this data in advance of the arrival of the food product to assess and evaluate the information and decide whether to inspect the imported food.
