Type Approval certification process ends when the approval label is correctly applied to the product or packaging. Once the product or packaging are labelled, they are ready to ship into the market and bought by the buyers. Why is compliance label so important in product sale or distribution? Here’s the explanation.
In the countries where the citizens are so aware of compliance aspect of the product they buy, compliance label becomes main consideration when buying product. Through this label, buyer can check whether the product they’re buying already complies with the standard or not. Further, they can also check what standards are already fulfilled by this product, and into what countries these products are already legal to be used and sold. The more standards that the product can be complied with, the safer and more legal the product to be used. And this information can be identified from the compliance label.
Although compliance labelling is very important, not all countries obligate labelling on all types of products. For example, is Colombia Type Approval. In Colombia, not all certified products are to apply compliance label. There, compliance label is only required for telecommunication products that use cellular frequency. Otherwise, affixing compliance label is not required.
Then, what are the example of product that requires Colombia Type Approval (CRC) compliance label? Some products such as mobile phones, fixed telephones, global satellite systems, and other product use cellular frequency are mandatory to affix compliance label. This label can be affixed on product or printed on the packaging.
Besides direct application on product or on packaging, the use of E-Labelling or digital label is also allowed. Then, that about the format? The format of Colombia CRC label is quite simple. Manufacturer/distributor only need to use this format in the label: CRC XX YY ZZZZ. XX refers to the type of approved terminal. While YY refers to the year of registration. And ZZZZ refers to the consecutive registration number.
