According to an announcement from the China Automobile Certification Center (CCAP), electric bicycles, lithium-ion batteries for e-bikes, chargers, and even helmets will now need to display the CCC mark alongside a traceable QR code. The move is part of a pilot reform under China’s CCC (China Compulsory Certification) framework. The CCC is the main regulatory compliance body in China, something akin to CE in Europe or UL in the US.
By linking each product’s certification mark to a scannable digital record, authorities gain a far more precise enforcement tool. Non-compliant products become easier to identify, recalls can be more targeted, and counterfeit certification labels become harder to pass off as legitimate.
