CCC Certification for Batteries

Testing Requirements & Compliance Points

The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark is a mandatory safety and quality mark for many products imported, sold, or used in the Chinese market. Recently, lithium-ion batteries and power banks have been added to the CCC catalog.

• Standards Compliance: Batteries must adhere strictly to GB31241 safety standards. This covers electrical safety, environmental adaptability, and safe usage under extreme conditions.
• Safety & EMC Testing: Testing includes both product safety protocols and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). All tests must be conducted by a CNCA-designated laboratory in China.
• Factory Audits: Certification requires an initial factory inspection to guarantee consistent manufacturing quality, followed by annual follow-up audits.
• Market Access: It is illegal to import or sell lithium-ion batteries without the CCC mark, making this an essential compliance milestone for industrial and consumer electronics manufacturers in China.
