Q1: What is China Compulsory Product Certification?
A1: China Compulsory Product Certification, abbreviated as "CCC Certification", is a market access system implemented by China for products related to personal health, safety, and environmental protection in accordance with the principles of marketization and internationalization. According to the "Regulations on Certification and Accreditation", all products listed in the compulsory product certification catalogue shall be certified and marked with the certification mark before they can be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities.

Up to now, the CCC certification system has covered 16 major categories and 96 types of products, including consumer industrial products related to the daily lives of the general public such as household electronics, automobiles, and toys. It has played an important role in promoting the improvement of product safety and quality and protecting the rights and interests of consumers.

According to the "Announcement of the State Administration for Market Regulation on Implementing Compulsory Product Certification Management for Lithium-ion Batteries and Other Products" (No. 10, 2023), CCC certification management has been implemented for lithium-ion batteries and battery packs, and portable power banks since August 1, 2023. Starting from August 1, 2024, those without CCC certification certificates and without marking the certification mark shall not be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities. Due to the chemical properties of lithium batteries and power banks themselves, when the production process and structure of the products do not meet the technical requirements of national standards, or in the transportation and use processes, under special circumstances such as extreme high and low temperatures, severe bumps, and long-term overcharging, it is very easy to have thermal runaway, causing battery swelling and further leading to safety problems such as fire, explosion, overheating, or leakage, which directly endanger personal health and safety. Meanwhile, China is a major consumer of power banks, and clearly stipulating that power banks are included in the management of CCC-certified products is an important measure to protect the personal safety of consumers.

Q2: What is the scope of application of the CCC certification for batteries?
A2: Lithium-ion batteries and battery packs: Devices that rely on the movement of lithium electrons between the positive and negative electrodes to realize the mutual conversion of chemical energy and electrical energy and are designed to be rechargeable; combinations of any number of lithium-ion batteries with a protection circuit, ready for use.
