New CCC Standards introduced for E-Bike Batteries and Chargers
China has introduced new mandatory product certification (CCC certification) requirements for lithium-ion batteries (1121) and chargers (1122) used in electric bicycles. Based on the 2024 No. 26 Announcement by the State Administration for Market Regulation, the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) and the China Certification Centre for Automotive Products (CCAP) have issued updated implementation rules, effective October 15, 2024. The revised regulations include the Implementation Rules for Mandatory Product Certification of Lithium-Ion Batteries (CQC-C1121-2024) and the Implementation Rules for Chargers (CQC-C1122-2024). Lithium-ion batteries generally require CCC certification to be approved for import and sale in China.
From October 15, 2024, manufacturers can apply for certification via the CQC or CCAP platforms. Furthermore, from November 1, 2025, all products in this category must be certified and marked with the CCC logo to be legally manufactured, sold, imported, or used in commercial activities. Additional updates in the 2024 version of the rules include modified testing standards, added sodium-ion battery categories, stricter post-certification supervision, and requirements for traceability and data management systems for critical components like batteries and chargers.
