New Regulations on 3C Certification for Lithium - Ion Batteries and Related Products

Lithium - ion batteries and their related equipment, due to their high energy density and active chemical properties, carry risks of thermal runaway, explosion, and fire. To ensure consumer safety, the State Administration for Market Regulation has decidedAugust 1, 2023To implement CCC certification management.

(1) Certification standards:
Lithium - ion batteries and battery packs: Safety Technical Specifications for Lithium - ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products (GB 31241).
Mobile power supplies: Safety Requirements for Audio, Video, Information Technology and Communication Technology Equipment - Part 1: Safety Requirements (GB 4943.1) and Safety Technical Specifications for Lithium - ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products (GB 31241).

(2) Certification implementation rules:Implementation Rules for Compulsory Product Certification of Electronic products and safety accessories (No.: CNCA - C09 - 01:2023).

(3) Certification time nodes:
August 1, 2023:CCC certification begins to be implemented.
August 1, 2024:Products without certification are prohibited from leaving the factory, being sold, and imported.

Lithium - ion batteries and related products such as 8506500000, 8507600090, etc. are within the scope of import commodity inspection. The customs will conduct entry verification, on - site inspection, and laboratory testing, including safety items such as impact and overcharging.

When making an import declaration, enterprises need to correctly declare information such as the nature of the goods, product qualifications, and certificate numbers.
You can refer to the relevant notices on the website of the China International Trade Single Window to ensure the accuracy of the declaration.

Note: Considering the safety risks of lithium - ion batteries and related equipment, this certification policy aims to improve product safety and protect the rights and interests of consumers.
