What is the GCC Certification in the USA?

The gcc certificate (General Conformity Certificate) in the USA is a written document issued by the manufacturer or importer of general-purpose products to certify that their products comply with applicable consumer product safety rules. It is the general conformity certificate stipulated in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of the United States and applies to non-children's products. All importers and local manufacturers must provide a GCC certificate to prove that their products meet specific regulatory requirements.
