CQC

CQC is an acronym used for several distinct terms across military, regulatory, and media contexts. Common meanings include Close Quarters Combat, the Care Quality Commission in the United Kingdom, the China Quality Certification Centre, and the Argentine television program Caiga Quien Caiga (CQC).

Close Quarters Combat refers to fighting in confined spaces, such as rooms, corridors, ships, or aircraft. It emphasizes rapid movement, precise weapon handling, and controlled hand-to-hand techniques. Training covers team entries, room clearing, target prioritization, and safety protocols to reduce risk to civilians and teammates. Doctrine and terminology vary by agency, but CQC generally stresses speed and surprise.

Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care services in England. It registers providers, conducts inspections, and publishes ratings to inform patients and the public. The CQC evaluates safety, effectiveness, experience, and leadership; it can impose sanctions or require improvements where standards are not met. It operates independently of the NHS and government.

China Quality Certification Centre is a national certification body issuing product and system certifications in China. Its CQC mark signifies compliance with applicable Chinese standards and regulations for consumer goods and industrial equipment. The CQC operates under CNCA oversight and is widely used by manufacturers seeking market access in China and abroad.

Caiga Quien Caiga, literally "Whoever Falls, Falls," is a satirical television news program known in Argentina and other Spanish-speaking countries. The show uses investigative reporting, street interviews, and humor to critique current events. It is commonly abbreviated as CQC.
