China Plans Mandatory CCC Standard For Electric Motorcycle Chargers
26. March 2026China is advancing a new regulatory initiative under the CCC certification framework with the development of mandatory safety requirements for chargers used in electric motorcycles and electric mopeds. The proposed national standard, currently under drafting, reflects growing regulatory attention to electrical safety and product reliability in China’s rapidly expanding electric two-wheeler market.
The standardization project, organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), has been assigned to the Motorcycle Subcommittee of the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee (TC114SC1). It is classified as a mandatory national standard and is expected to play a critical role in shaping future CCC certification requirements for related charging equipment. Electric motorcycle chargers usually require CCC certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
Draft Standard Scope and Technical Framework
The draft standard, titled Safety Requirements of Charger for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Mopeds, is currently in the drafting phase under plan number 20256781-Q-339. The development cycle is projected to last approximately 22 months, with an official initiation date scheduled for the end of 2025.
Leading industry stakeholders and testing bodies are involved in the drafting process, including major manufacturers and certification institutions such as Yadea Technology Group and the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC). Their participation indicates that the standard will likely incorporate both practical manufacturing considerations and established conformity assessment practices.
The regulation is expected to define key safety criteria for chargers, potentially addressing electrical protection, thermal management, charging performance, and compatibility with vehicle systems. It will align with China’s broader regulatory framework for electric motorcycles, which already includes standards for batteries, motors, and overall vehicle safety.
Implications for Manufacturers and Market Access
Once finalized and implemented, the standard is expected to become a mandatory basis for CCC certification of chargers used with electric motorcycles and mopeds. Manufacturers exporting to China or supplying the domestic market will need to ensure their products meet the specified safety requirements and undergo conformity assessment procedures through authorized certification bodies.
The introduction of this standard also complements a series of related regulatory developments, including ongoing projects for lithium-ion battery safety and fuel cell systems in electric two-wheelers. Together, these initiatives signal a comprehensive tightening of safety and performance requirements across the entire electric vehicle component ecosystem.
For manufacturers, early alignment with the upcoming requirements may help mitigate certification delays and support smoother market entry once enforcement begins. Additional technical details and implementation guidance are expected to be released as the standard progresses through consultation, review, and approval stages.
