Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China recently issued an emergency notice that from June 28, passengers are prohibited from taking domestic flights with power banks without CCC certification marks (commonly known as 3C marks), unclear CCC certification marks, and recalled models or batches. Starting from August 1, 2024, all power banks sold on the market must have CCC certification mark. Can the power bank purchased before, which does not have the CCC certification mark and has not been recalled still be used? In this regard, the head of relevant departments and bureaus of the State Administration for Market Regulation told reporters that starting from August 1, 2024, if a merchant sells a power bank without CCC certification, it will violate the Product Quality Law and other laws and regulations. For consumers, unrecalled power banks can be used. However, when taking public transportation, the corresponding regulations must be followed.
With the rapid popularity of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets, consumers' demand for the use of mobile power banks has surged. As the world's largest producer and consumer of power banks, my country's market size has reached US$1.046 billion in 2024, accounting for more than 30% of the global market.
Since the beginning of this year, lithium battery products such as power banks brought by passengers have caught fire and smoke on the plane. The Civil Aviation Administration of China recently issued an emergency notice that from June 28, passengers are prohibited from taking domestic flights with power banks without CCC certification marks (commonly known as 3C marks), unclear CCC certification marks, and recalled models or batches.
For a time, many consumers were looking for whether their power banks had CCC certification marks. Regarding issues that everyone is generally concerned about, the reporter interviewed the heads of relevant departments and bureaus of the State Administration for Market Regulation.
Q: What is CCC certification? Why should power banks be included in CCC certification supervision? When will the power bank CCC certification be implemented? Is it mandatory?
Answer: China Compulsory Certification (China Compulsory Certification) is a mandatory market access system implemented by my country in accordance with the law in order to protect consumers' personal safety, national security and environment.
In recent years, fires and other accidents caused by power banks have occurred from time to time, threatening the personal health and public safety of consumers. In order to strengthen the quality and safety supervision of power bank products, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the 'Announcement on Implementing Mandatory Product Certification Management for Lithium-ion Batteries and Other Products' in March 2023, including power bank and its key components - lithium-ion batteries (that is, battery cells) in mandatory product certification, that is, CCC certification management, and it is clear that from August 1, 2024, power banks and battery cells that have not obtained CCC certification shall not be factory, sold, imported, or used in other business activities.
By implementing CCC certification, in accordance with the provisions of two mandatory national standards, 'Audio and Video, Information Technology and Communication Technology Equipment Part 1: Safety Requirements' (GB 4943.1-2022) and 'Technical Specifications for Safety of Lithium-ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronics' (GB 31241-2022), the charging and discharge temperature control, high-temperature external short circuit, fall and extrusion of power banks are strictly tested. At the same time, the quality assurance capabilities and product consistency of the manufacturer are inspected to ensure that the products continue to comply with the standards and CCC certification requirements, and to effectively control market access.
Q: How to identify true and false CCC certification marks?
Answer: At present, the main way for power banks to apply CCC certification marks is to print or molded marks, that is, the CCC certification mark pattern is printed on the body of the product.
In addition, power banks are also allowed to paste standard specifications CCC certification marks. The standard specification logo is made of holographic laser anti-counterfeiting technology, and is aligned with the logo to observe. The whole thing is a white base plate, a black pattern, and contains diamond patterns and Chinese certified words and dark patterns, which has a sense of reality and three-dimensionality. If there is no three-dimensional effect, it can be judged to be a counterfeit sign.
The market supervision department also reminds consumers that the CCC certification mark cannot be circulated in the market, and the logos with the words CCC sold online are illegal. Consumers are advised not to purchase and use them.
Q: Starting from August 1, 2024, all power banks sold on the market must have CCC certification mark. Can the power bank purchased before, which does not have the CCC certification mark and has not been recalled still be used?
Answer: Starting from August 1, 2024, if the merchant sells a power bank without CCC certification, it will violate the Product Quality Law and other laws and regulations. For consumers, unrecalled power banks can be used. However, when taking public transportation, the corresponding regulations must be followed.
Q: Summer is here. What are the suggestions for safe use of power banks?
Answer: First, consumers should not place their power banks in an environment where the sun is exposed to direct, high temperature and is not conducive to heat dissipation. Because when the internal temperature of the power bank exceeds a certain limit, 'heat out of control' may occur, causing fire or smoke.
Second, the lithium battery inside the power bank product uses flammable electrolyte, which is relatively unstable. Once severe bumps, squeeze deformation, bulging and leaking liquid occur, consumers are asked to stop using it in time and eliminate and replace it.
Third, when consumers purchase power bank products, please check the CCC certification marks applied to the product. You can also pass the 'National Certification and Accreditation Information Public Service Platform' to check the certification status of the product and whether the CCC certification certificate is valid.
