China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) enacted mandatory China Compulsory Certification (CCC) requirements specifically targeting lithium-ion batteries and chargers used in electric bicycles. Designated certification bodies, including the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) and the China Certification Centre for Automotive Products (CCAP), updated their implementation rules (CQC-C1121-2024 and CQC-C1122-2024). Beginning November 1, 2025, all lithium-ion battery cells, battery packs, and standalone e-bike chargers manufactured, imported, or sold within mainland China must hold valid CCC certification and display the official mark.
The expanded regulatory framework aligns with technical specifications detailed in GB 43854 and GB 42296, as well as the updated overarching vehicle standard GB 17761-2024. Beyond fundamental electrical and fire safety testing, the updated guidelines institute a "One vehicle, one battery, one charger, one code" system, requiring a permanently assigned unique identifier code across components to enable end-to-end digital lifecycle tracking. The standard also enforces anti-tampering design controls, such as mutual recognition handshake protocols between the battery and charger to prevent unapproved component matching, alongside explicit safe-service-life labeling on battery packs. Additionally, non-compliant inventory produced or imported prior to the updated standard face strict sales phase-out deadlines, making timely factory audits and component certification essential for manufacturers targeting China's e-mobility sector.
