China's SAMR Suspends Over 100,000 CCC Certificates, Targets Power Banks
The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has launched a nationwide campaign to enforce minimum safety standards for mandatory product certification. As of the report, designated certification bodies have suspended 108,500 CCC certificates involving 18,500 production enterprises and revoked 44,900 certificates involving 13,000 enterprises. Notably, over 4,200 CCC certificates for power banks and lithium batteries were revoked or cancelled for failing to meet certification requirements. In May 2025, regulators adjusted the certification procedure for mobile power sources, shifting from voluntary sample submission to random sampling at production facilities, increasing unannounced inspections, and requiring producers to retain traceability data for at least three years. Despite these measures, incidents persist; on September 15, a 3C-certified power bank caught fire during passenger disembarkation from Hunan Airlines flight A67776 in Changsha, though the fire was extinguished without affecting flight operations.
