China updates CCC Certification Requirements for Electrical Toys
10. July 2025The Chinese authorities have introduced new requirements for the CCC certification of children’s electrical toys, aligned with the recently published GB 19865-2024 standard, which replaces GB 19865-2005. The updated standard came into effect on July 24, 2024, and will be officially enforced starting July 1, 2026. According to the technical resolution TC21-2025-01, toys that fall under the scope of GB 19865—including electrical ride-on toys, functional electrical toys, and toys with embedded LED sources or computer-like functions—must comply with the revised certification procedures during the transition period. Children’s products usually require CCC certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.

Manufacturers and certification bodies may choose to apply for certification based on either the old or the new standard before July 1, 2026. From that date onward, all new CCC certifications for affected products must comply with GB 19865-2024. Certified products already in circulation must complete the standard transition by July 1, 2027. Additional requirements such as electromagnetic compatibility, enhanced battery safety, and high-temperature warnings have been added, particularly for toys using lithium or coin-type batteries. Certain products—such as remote-controlled ride-on toys, toys connected to USB ports, and liquid-filled or water-immersible toys—must also meet new supplementary testing and labeling standards.
