SAMR Announces CCC Certification of Lithium-ion Batteries and Packs
14. April 2023In accordance with the requirements of the General Office of the State Council on the Reform of the Management System of the Electronics and Electrical Industry, SAMR State Administration for Market Regulation has decided to introduce compulsory product certification (CCC certification) for lithium-ion batteries and battery packs, mobile power supplies and power adapters/chargers for telecommunication terminals used in electronic and electrical products (hereinafter summarized as “newly included products”).
The following, relevant requirements have been announced:
1. starting from August 1, 2023, certification bodies shall start accepting CCC certification orders for the newly included products and conduct certification work in accordance with the standards listed in the “Implementing Rules for Mandatory Product Certification of Information Technology Equipment” and the annexes.
From August 1, 2024, products that have not received CCC certification may not be shipped, sold, imported, or used in China. The list of mandated certification bodies and laboratories for the newly included products will be announced separately.
2. For details on the scope of CCC certification for newly included products, please refer to the Appendix. CCC certification for lithium-ion batteries and battery packs used in electronic and electrical products will be conducted in the initial phase. For lithium-ion batteries and battery packs used in other electronic and electric products, CCC certification shall be carried out in time when sufficient conditions exist.
3. Considering that GB Standard GB31241-2022 “Safety Specifications for Lithium-ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products” will be compulsory on January 1, 2024, the appointed certification bodies shall carry out CCC certification of the relevant products according to this GB Standard to reduce the certification cost for enterprises.
4. the designated certification bodies and laboratories shall ensure certification quality, actively accept existing conformity assessment results, reduce burden on enterprises and facilitate their certification.
