Determination of Accredited Test Laboratories for Lithium-Ion Battery Certification in China
In Announcement No. 9/2023, dated June 07, 2023, the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China (CNCA) issued an overview of approved accredited test laboratories for testing of lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries and accumulators for cell phones, but also for other electronic and electrical devices, have recently been made subject to mandatory CCC certification in China according to CNCA announcement No. 5/2023. Many other electrical devices and components are also subject to CCC certification in China, or voluntary CQC certification or CCAP certification.
According to the Chinese Standard CNCA-C09-01 for lithium-ion batteries and accumulators, the CCC certification process requires product testing to the applicable GB standard in an accredited Chinese test laboratory. CNCA designated 20 test labs throughout China for this purpose, whose names and contact information were also published as part of the announcement.

MPR Summer Event – Outdoor Challenges with Variety
On July 17, 2023, the MPR team gathered for their annual summer event, which this time took the form of a triathlon with sporting events and cognitive challenges in the beautiful town of Kelkheim, Hessen.
The day kicked off with an archery competition, which raised the team’s performance to a new level in a very short time.
The participants then embarked on the first stage of a hike through the countryside, which led to the high ropes course in the forest. Dizzying heights and a variety of difficulty levels kept the adventurers on their toes providing fun and thrills.
The day was rounded off with a delicious dinner in the idyllic beer garden of the Gimbacher Hof in the Vordertaunus region, where the colleagues were able to reflect on the day in a relaxed atmosphere and indulge their taste buds.
A heartfelt thank you for the organizers and the entire MPR team for making this company outing an unforgettable event.
New Implementation Rules CNCA-C09-01:2023 and CQC-C0901:2023 for Batteries, Power Supplies and Power Banks
CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China) published the new implementation rule CNCA-C09-01:2023 on June 28, 2023. In the new standard, product areas 0807, 0907 power supply, 0914 power bank and 0915 lithium-ion batteries and battery pack have been added.
It is possible to prepare for the CCC certification with the information given by the publication of the regulations. The official application and issuance of CCC certificates will begin August 1, 2023, according to the implementation regulations.
The CQC (China Quality Certification Centre) has published the detailed implementation regulations CQC-C0901-2023. These describe in detail the necessary requirements for obtaining CCC certification.
The CCC certificate is a mandatory certification in China, which was introduced in 2002. It is similar to the European CE system and stipulates that products requiring CCC certification may only be imported, sold and used in China after they have obtained CCC certification.
Please note that products covered by the new CNCA-C09-01:2023 must be certified by August 1, 2024. If the certification process is not completed by that date, import, sale and use will be prohibited.

New Standards on Test Methods for Car Tires GB/T 4502 and GB/T 521
The Chinese National Tire Rim Standardization Technical Committee (TC19 for short) and the National Tire Rim Standardization Technical Committee Auto Industry and Agricultural Machinery Tire Rim Branch (TC19SC1 for short) have announced two new GB standards concerning test methods for car tires, both of which are to be implemented this year. Specifically, they are GB/T 4502-2023 Laboratory test methods for passenger car tire capabilities (this supersedes the previous version GB/T 4502-2016) and GB/T 521-2023 Test Method of Measuring Peripheral Dimensions for Tires (which supersedes GB/T 521-2012). Car tires require CCC certification to be approved for import and sale in China.
GB/T 4502-2023 was published on May 23, 2023, and is scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2023.
GB/T 521-2023 was announced on March 17, 2023, and is scheduled to be implemented on October 1, 2023.

For GB/T 521-2023, in addition to the structural adjustments and editorial changes, the following changes from the previous version, among others, are included:
- Add “Electric bicyclc tire.s and rickshaw tires” in the scope of application
- Change the accuracy requirements for the tire Pressure gauge
- Add “non-contact measuring instruments” and related requirements
- Add specific provisions on measuring inflation pressure
- Add measurement method for “overall tire width”
- Change the provisions on the number of measurement Points for “section Width, groove depth, tread wear mark height”
- Change the Value of “n” from “3.14” to “3.1416”
