Standards and Certification Document

Test standard: GB31241-2014: Lithium ion cells and batteries used in portable electronic equipment―Safety requirements
Certification document: CQC11-464112-2015: Secondary Battery and Battery Pack Safety Certification Rules for Portable Electronic Devices

Background and Date of implementation

1. GB31241-2014 was published on December 5^th, 2014;

2. GB31241-2014 was mandatorily implemented on August 1^st, 2015. ;

3. On October 15th, 2015, Certification and Accreditation Administration issued a technical resolution on additional testing standard GB31241 for key component “battery” of the audio and video equipment, information technology equipment and telecom terminal equipment. The resolution stipulates that the lithium batteries used in the above products need to be randomly tested as per GB31241-2014, or obtain a separate certification.

Please note that the following standards will be implemented on January 1, 2024.
GB 31241-2022 “Battery Pack Safety Technical Specifications for Lithium-Ion Batteries for Portable Electronic Products”. This standard is used for mandatory certification of batteries for portable electronic products.GB 42295-2022 “Electrical Safety Requirements for Electric Bicycles”. This standard is used for compulsory certification of electric bicycle products.
According to the requirements of the Announcement of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration on Improving the Management of Compulsory Product Certification Certificates and Marks (No. 12, 2023), certification clients are recommended to obtain electronic certificates from January 1, 2024.
The electronic certificate document format is based on the China Electronic Document Exchange and Storage Format Standard (GB/T 33190-2016), and the electronic certificate is issued in the OFD (Open Fixed-layout Document) document format.
