In 2015, CRAC published a letter addressing some frequently asked questions. This included information about the scope of CRAC's business activities under the commission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), as well as how to obtain a new certificate after the centralized issuance of CRSA certificates in June 2015. However, this page is no longer available on the main CRAC page, but the page itself still exists.Original link
Relevant excerpts are listed below:
Q: We have just started the process of issuing new operation certificates for our existing ones. What should we do if we don't receive the new operation certificates by June 30th?
Answer: Before the new regulations were announced, the issuance of old-version operation certificates continued to be carried out in accordance with the "Notice [2013]27 issued by the China Association for Wireless Telegraphy under the delegation and guidance of the National Radio Management Agency regarding the centralized reissue of 'amateur radio operator certificate' operations," which was established. The "centralized reissue work" served as a temporary priority task for CRAC and local certificate examination issuing agencies, and it would end on June 30, 2015. After the completion of the centralized reissue work, old-version amateur radio operation certificates issued by the China Association for Wireless Telegraphy before December 31, 2012, would no longer be used as proof of amateur radio operator technical competence when applying for a license at the Radio Management Agency.
If an application for replacement was submitted to local processing agencies before June 30, 2015, but could not be completed due to the processing agency's workflow (e.g., requiring CRSA verification and database record correction), the processing agency will continue to process the replacement request.
Due to circumstances, those who were unable to submit a change-of-issue application before the deadline for centralized issuance are still able to submit an application to local processing agencies. The change-of-issue will be processed according to the specific procedures outlined in [2013] No. 27 of the National Agreement. However, since the centralized issuance work has concluded, local service agencies may adjust the order of priority for handling applications, and the time required to consolidate and submit individual applications will also significantly increase. The processing speed will therefore differ from that during the centralized issuance phase.（2015.6.24）
Q: Does the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Notice [2013]43 stipulate that "the China Association of Radio, only the association is responsible for organizing guidance for amateur radio activities"? If I am not a member of your association, can I still receive guidance from CRAC?
Answer: Yes.
Community organizations, in accordance with their bylaws, typically organize and conduct certain activities within the scope of their membership. However, the bylaws include provisions for completing tasks assigned by the government. When carrying out these tasks, the recipients are determined by the government's delegation, and may not be limited to members only. Therefore, CRAC provides a wide range of services to all amateur radio enthusiasts across the country, such as providing guidance on organizing and verifying the technical capabilities of amateur radio operators, printing and distributing operation certificates, and hosting and organizing events for all amateur radio enthusiasts. These activities are all aimed at the entire community of amateur radio enthusiasts.
Local radio management agencies may also adopt similar measures to strengthen the daily management of local amateur radio stations. This could involve entrusting local organizations with providing regulatory and operational guidance to local amateur radio enthusiasts, offering certification exams for operating amateur radio stations, requiring operators of amateur radio stations to participate in non-profit training events organized by the agency, and receiving guidance and coordination from the agency regarding interference mitigation. The services are not necessarily limited to members of these organizations.（2013.5.13）
