On-going progress are made, 11 CJK common core criteria have been developed from 'Computer' (2007)' to 'Furniture (2019)' , including the formulation of CCC implementation rules and working procedures and continuously developing new category CCC. The three parties identify the common parts of the standard through the comparison of the standards. If the product has obtained the certification of one party and applies for the certification of the other two parties, the verification of the common part can be exempted. Therefore, it can greatly improve the efficiency of enterprises applying for certification, and effectively promote trade facilitation.
