New CCC Certification Requirements for Motorcycle and Electric Bicycle Helmets in China

12. September 2024

In accordance with Announcement No. 9 of 2024 issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation, electric bicycle rider helmets will be subject to China’s Compulsory Certification (CCC) starting May 1, 2024. From this date, motorcycle and electric bicycle rider helmets will generally require CCC certification to be approved for import and sale in China.

Additionally, under Announcement No. 7 of 2024 from the State Certification and Accreditation Administration, new implementation rules for motorcycle and electric bicycle rider helmets have been introduced. CQC started to enforce the updated “Implementation Specifications for Compulsory Product Certification – Motorcycle and Electric Bicycle Rider Helmets” (CQC-C1115-2024) beginning May 1, 2024. This replaces the previous 2017 version for motorcycle helmets (CQC-C1115-2017). Existing CCC certificates for motorcycle helmets will remain valid until their expiration or a change in product standards occurs. Meanwhile, companies holding voluntary certification for electric bicycle helmets will need to transition to CCC certification without incurring additional fees, provided no changes in certification requirements have taken place.
