Recent safety issues with power banks have indeed attracted significant attention. A series of recall incidents and regulatory upgrades indicate that this industry is undergoing a strict "physical examination." To help you quickly understand the core changes in current power bank 3C certification, I have summarized the following key points:
Key Regulatory Changes
| Regulatory Dimension | Core Requirements & Changes |
|---|---|
| Certification Scope | Power banks (0914), lithium-ion batteries and cells for portable products (0915), etc., have been included in the CCC mandatory certification scope. Since August 1, 2024, power banks without CCC certification cannot be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities. |
| Production Process Control | The new rules explicitly specify requirements for over 20 key processes for the first time, covering the entire process from positive/negative electrode material selection to finished product assembly. |
| Post-Certification Supervision | Added sampling inspection after certification. Increased the proportion of unannounced "surprise" inspections, especially for Category B, C, and D enterprises. |
Certification Process & Costs
Understanding the core changes, let's look at the specific steps required to obtain this market "pass" and the general cost structure.
Certification Process: Mainly divided into five steps: Certification Application → Type Testing of Submitted Samples → Initial Factory Inspection → Evaluation and Approval of Certification Results → Post-Certification Supervision (Annual Audit: once a year).
Certification Cycle & Costs: The entire certification cycle generally takes 1-2 months. Cost-wise, it varies depending on the product, for example:
Power Bank (0914): Testing fee approx. 18,000 RMB (if the battery cell is certified) or 24,000 RMB (if the battery cell is uncertified).
Camping Power Station: Testing fee approx. 25,000 RMB (if the battery is certified) or 35,000 RMB (if the battery is uncertified).
Additionally, it usually includes an Application/Registration Fee of 1,300 RMB and a Factory Inspection Fee of 2,500 RMB per person-day.
Practical Advice for Enterprises
Facing the increasingly strict regulatory environment, manufacturing enterprises can focus on the following aspects:
Plan and Prepare in Advance: Given the certification cycle and complex preparation work, it is recommended that enterprises plan early during the product design stage and incorporate certification requirements into consideration.
Strictly Control Supply Chain and Production: The new rules strengthen control over key raw materials and the entire production chain. Enterprises need to establish strict supplier准入 and evaluation mechanisms and ensure every key part of their production process complies with standards.
Emphasize Post-Certification Supervision: Obtaining the certificate is only the first step. Enterprises need to establish a sound quality management system to be ready for potential unannounced factory inspections and post-certification sampling tests at any time.
Seek Professional Support: Cooperating with qualified and experienced certification bodies can help enterprises complete the certification process more efficiently and accurately, avoiding detours.
We hope the above information helps you fully understand the current regulatory situation and requirements for power bank 3C certification. If you have further questions about the certification details for specific product types or the specific process of factory审查, you can consult Energy Storage Testing.
