China market regulator publishes five cases of uncertified power bank quality violations
China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has released five typical cases of power bank quality and safety violations, as part of a nationwide crackdown on products lacking mandatory CCC certification or failing to meet national standards. The cases include a Guangdong firm, Dongguan Paitou Electronic Technology, found with 425 non-compliant power banks and 5,950 units falsely using CCC marks, resulting in a fine of 75,000 yuan. In Shandong, Shandong Yuandong Weilai Low-Carbon Technology was fined 30,000 yuan for distributing 260 uncertified power banks as free gifts with other products. Additional cases were reported in Zhejiang, Henan, and Anhui provinces. The enforcement actions, covering both online and offline sales, aim to curb illegal production and sale of substandard power banks, which pose fire and safety risks to consumers.

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.
