This does seem to be the official version of their name in English although this translation could use some revision. I'm going with this answer since I need to cite this in the endnotes and can't take many liberties with revising the official titles. Thanks everyone!

agree  Denyce Seow: http://www.ecph.com.cn - I think I understand Jinhang's concern. The name does sound weird. We need to read it as (Encyclopedia of China) (Publishing House).

agree  CHEN-Ling: 我的理解是：中国大百科全书出版社，就是中国出版社的“大百科全书”，官方的译法有趣！
