The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) information in Intel Server Products
documents will be deemed invalid as the products will no longer have CCC
certifications
Information in this document is provided in connection with Intel products. No license, express or implied, by estoppel or otherwise,
to any intellectual property rights is granted by this document. Except as provided in Intel's Terms and Conditions of Sale for such
products, Intel assumes no liability whatsoever, and Intel disclaims any express or implied warranty, relating to sale and/or use of
Intel products including liability or warranties relating to fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or infringement of any patent,
copyright or other intellectual property right. Intel products are not intended for use in medical, life saving, or life sustaining
applications. Intel may make changes to specifications and product descriptions at any time, without notice. The Intel products
described herein may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published
specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
Products Affected
All Intel Server Chassis sub-assembly products.
Description
The product documents (Technical Product Specification, User’s Guide, Service Guide, etc.) on Resource CDs shipped
with Intel products may contain China Compulsory Certification (CCC) information. This information will be deemed
invalid from August 31, 2010, as the products will no longer have CCC certifications.
Root Cause
Due to recent China regulation changes, effective August 31, 2010, Intel will no longer obtain or sustain the China CCC
certifications on Intel’s server sub-assembly chassis products. These products do not fall into the scope or catalogue of
products requiring China CCC certifications; as these products are considered not fully integrated and are completely
non-operational (e.g. no peripheral drives, memory, processors, add-in cards, etc). Please contact your local Intel
representative if you have any questions regarding this.
Corrective Action / Resolution
Final integrated server system level product requires China Compulsory Certification (CCC) prior to importing into the
Peoples Republic of China. Customers will need to determine if their product is considered a final integrated product to
determine if CCC certification is required.
Please contact your Intel Sales Representative if you require more specific information about this issue.
