According to multiple media reports, the news on June 28 will strictly implement new regulations on carrying electricity banks starting from June 28, 2024, according to the latest notice issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (hereinafter referred to as the “Civil Aviation Administration”). The provision clearly states that the 3C logo does not have the 3C logo, the 3C logo is not clear, and that domestic flights will be prohibited by the model or batches that belong to the recall.
At Shanghai Hanqiao International Airport, in order to cooperate in implementing new regulations, the airport established a famous “New Power Banking Regulations” notification committee. These notification committees are intended to remind passengers to check if the electricity banks they carry comply with regulations and to avoid being banned from boarding due to illegal carrying, resulting in unnecessary hassle and time delays.
According to airport security personnel, on June 28 alone, from the opening of the dock until 8 a.m., up to three large power banks abandoned by passengers were collected at the security inspection site. Surprisingly, most of these abandoned electric banks failed to pass the 3C certification. This phenomenon reflects that there are still a large number of power banking products on the market that do not meet safety standards, which also reminds consumers to keep their eyes wide when purchasing.
So, what is 3C certification? In fact, China’s mandatory certification, known as “CCC Certification,” is a market access system implemented by the Chinese government for products involving related risks to protect consumers’ personal health and safety, protect the environment, protect national security, and comply with the principles of marketization and internationalization. This is a safety certification mark that indicates that the product complies with Chinese safety standards. Only products that have passed the certification and are marked with certification can be sold and used in the Chinese market.
It is worth noting that the state government, which first issued Announcement No. 10 in 2023, obviously decided to implement CCC certification management for lithium-ion batteries, battery packs and mobile power supplies (i.e., what we usually call electric banking). The announcement pointed out that CCC certification will officially begin on August 1, 2023. After the one-year transition period on August 1, 2024, all lithium-ion batteries, battery packs, power packs and other related products have not obtained the CCC certification certificate and have not obtained the certification mark in other business activities. In other words, the new regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration this time are the further implementation and implementation of relevant regulations on national regulations.
The Civil Aviation Administration’s new regulations will undoubtedly further regulate the power banking market, prompting manufacturers to pay more attention to product quality and safety performance, and protect consumers’ rights and safety. At the same time, passengers are also reminded to carefully check whether the power bank they carry complies with regulations to ensure they pass safety checks smoothly and avoid delays in travel.
In addition, when purchasing power sets, consumers should choose formal channels to purchase products with 3C certification marks and pay attention to checking the product manual for various parameters and preventive measures of the product. For purchased electricity banks, you can log in to the official website of the National Certification and Certification Supervision and Administration Commission to check whether they have passed the 3C certification to ensure their rights and interests.
