FAQ
What is the difference between GB/T 29197 and IEC 62641?
GB/T 29197 is the Chinese national standard primarily used in the domestic market, while IEC 62641 is an international standard. Both are technically equivalent for conductivity grades, but GB/T 29197 references Chinese GB test methods, whereas IEC 62641 references IEC methods. For export markets, IEC 62641 certification is recommended.
Is GB/T 29197 certification mandatory in China?
GB/T 29197 is a recommended (not mandatory) national standard. However, it is widely used as the technical basis for product quality acceptance, tender requirements, and CCC certification for cable products using CCA conductors.
How to select the right CCA grade according to GB/T 29197?
Select based on application requirements: CCA-15 for general low-voltage distribution and building wiring, CCA-20 for coaxial cables and high-frequency applications, and CCA-25 for applications requiring higher conductivity. Consider both electrical performance and cost-effectiveness.
