CQC recently published a notice on the implementation of new standard, GB 31241-2022 “Technical Specifications for Safety of Lithium-Ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products” (hereinafter referred to as "New Standard"). The new standard was released on December 29 of 2022, and will be implemented on January 1 of 2024 replacing GB 31241-2014 (hereinafter referred to as “old standards”).

The implementation on the new standard is as follows:

 

1. From March 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, enterprises can voluntarily choose to implement certification according to the new or old standards.

 

2. From January 1, 2024, CQC will adopt the new standard to implement certification and issue the certificate according to the new standard.

 

3. For products that have been certified according to the old standard, the holder of certificate can apply for converting the new-standard certificate, where the applicant shall supplement the difference test. The conversion of all old certificates should be completed before December 31, 2024; for those beyond the time limit, CQC will suspend the certificate. If the certificate conversion has not been completed by March 31, 2025, CQC will revoke the old-standard certificate.

 

4. If certified products, which have been delivered and put on the market before December 31 of 2023, are no longer produced, certificate conversion wouldn’t be required.

 

Since March 1 of 2023, the Product Certification Department of CQC has begun to accept the certification application for the new standard.
