【New Adjustments to China Compulsory Certification (CCC) Implementation Rules: Additional Safety Tests for Power Banks】

China's market regulator has revised CCC certification rules for power banks, adding mandatory standard GB 47372-2026 Safety Technical Specification for Power Banks. Key safety tests now include thermal abuse and nail penetration.

The new rules refine quality assurance and product consistency requirements for manufacturers, introduce classified supervision, and strengthen post-certification oversight.

A transition period applies until March 31, 2027. During this time, certification may be based on either old or new rules as per enterprise preference. From April 1, 2027, only the new rules will apply. Existing CCC certificates for power banks and their internal lithium batteries must be converted before April 1, 2027.
