GB Standard GB/T 43254 on Drive Motor Systems for Electric Vehicles

By the end of 2023, the Chinese State Administration for Market Supervision and Administration (SAC) will have published and approved a total of 468 proposed national standards. These include a new standard regarding functional safety requirements and test methods for drive motor systems in electric vehicles. The relevant new GB standard is GB/T 43254-2023. Many e-mobility products and components require CCC Certification in China in order to be approved for import and sale in China.

CCC certification is mandatory in China and applies to certain product categories. Before products can be exported to China, they must have the CCC certificate. It is comparable to the European CE system, which also standardizes product quality.

Implementation Rules for Products which recently became subject to CCC

On April 10, 2024, the CNCA issued announcement No. 09/2024, detailing substantial modifications in the CCC certification requirements. The revisions include expanding the range of products that require CCC certification to encompass additional product categories that were not previously covered. Relevant implementation rules were also revised.

The CCC (China Compulsory Certificate) is a compulsory certification in China, designed to ensure that specific product types comply with the national safety and quality standards before they are allowed to be sold or imported into China. The certification process involves product testing within China and annual audits of factories.

Here you will find a list of the products and their relevant implementation rules, including the dates after which CCC certification applications for these products will be accepted:

The new relevant implementation rules and their implementation dates are as follows:

CCC applications beginning May 1, 2024:

CCC applications beginning July 1, 2024:

The old version of the rules will be repealed simultaneously.

The relevant designated certification body shall, in accordance with the revised new version of the regulations and the requirements of the general implementing rules for mandatory product certification, formulate the relevant implementing rules for certification and submit them to the CNCA before carrying out the certification and issuing the certification certificate in accordance with the new version of the regulations.

Active mandatory product certificates issued under the old regulations can still be used. Conversion of certificates must be carried out in a natural transition manner, such as during renewal of validity period, product change or standard change.

CCC Self Declaration revised to CCC for Low-Voltage Components

On April 7, 2024, the CNCA  authority publishedseveral major news regarding CCC certification in its Announcement No. 09/2024.

One of the most important developments is the revision of the CCC Self Declaration certification mode for certain low-voltage components. In future, these will be subject to the regular CCC certification process, which includes annual factory audits.

These low-voltage components were included in the CCC Self-Declaration category in October 2019. However, the CNCA authority has now decided to reverse this process. No reasons were given. However, we suspect that there were often significant deviations from the national standards in this product area and that changes to certified products were not properly notified.

CCC applications for these products will be accepted beginning May 1, 2024. Plants that already have CCC SD must have completed the conversion process to classic CCC certification with a factory audit before November 1, 2024.

Manufacturers of these products that only have CCC SD without an additional voluntary CQC certification will have to conduct new audits. As these audits require a certain lead time, haste is required.

Please see the list of products for which CCC SD will be reset to CCC certification as of November 1, 2024:

  1. Leakage Circuit Breaker
  2. Circuit breaker
  3. Backups
  4. Low-voltage switchgear (circuit breakers, switch disconnectors and fuse combination devices)
  5. Other Circuit Guards
  6. Relay
  7. Miscellaneous Switches
  8. Miscellaneous Devices

We will provide more information as soon as the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) publishes new implementation regulations for these products.

E-Mobility: GB Standards for Hydrogen Refuelling Nozzles and Fuel Cell Test Methods

As we have reported in the past, at the end of 2023, the State Administration for Market Supervision and Regulation of China (SAC) announced the approval of 423 new or revised national GB standard standards,  as well as two lists for the revision of national standards. In the list of new standards, which was published on December 28, 2023, the new standards also include those for the field of electromobility. Two standards specifically concern the area of test methods for the performance of fuel cells for electric vehicles and for hydrogen nozzles for fuel cell electric vehicles. Hydrogen-related products in the field of e-mobility often require CCC certification. Pressure vessels in particular usually also require a Chinese Manufacture License (SELO approval).

The relevant GB standards that are being revised in this regard are GB/T 26991-2011 for fuel cell test methods and GB/T 34425-2017 for hydrogen nozzles.

CCC certification serves as proof that certain products meet China’s national standards for safety and quality before they are sold or put into service in the Chinese market.

We will provide further details on these regulations and the timeline for their implementation as soon as this information becomes available.

Are you interested in CCC certification or the China Manufacture License for the Chinese market? We will check for you, without obligation, whether your product requires SELO licensing and prepare a quotation to give you an idea of the costs and efforts involved for a China stamp for pressure vessels.
