While not an outright ban on power banks that lack a safety certificate, the rules allow them to be prohibited in public vehicles or public venues
China has introduced new regulations requiring makers of lithium-ion battery packs to obtain a mandatory quality and security certificate, a move that comes after the demise of a major power bank brand amid a string of fire incidents caused by faulty products.
Starting Friday, power banks must carry a China Compulsory Certification (CCC), or 3C certificate, before they can be sold, distributed or produced in China, according to the State Administration for Market Regulation.
While the regulation is not an outright ban on the use of power banks that do not have the certificate, it could mean that their use in public vehicles or even public venues could be prohibited. China’s civil aviation administration has already banned such power banks on domestic flights.
