China Updates Standards and Certification Rules for Child Restraint Systems in Vehicles
29. May 2025The Chinese government has issued a new national standard, GB 27887-2024, titled “Restraint System for Child Occupants of Motor Vehicles.” This updated regulation will come into effect on July 1, 2025, and will supersede the previous version, GB 27887-2011. In alignment with the updated standard, the China Automotive Certification Center (CCAP) has published a revised set of technical implementation rules under the code CCAP-C22-03:2025, which will become effective on May 1, 2025. Restraint systems for child occupants of motor vehicles can usually receive CCAP or CQC certification to demonstrate compliance with Chinese regulations.
From the implementation date of the new rules, applicants for CCC certification of child restraint systems must follow the updated provisions. A transitional period allows certifications under either the old or new standards until July 1, 2025. After this date, all new certifications must comply with the updated GB 27887-2024 standard. Valid certificates issued under the old standard may continue temporarily but must undergo renewal or conversion by the respective deadlines—July 1, 2026, for non-built-in systems and July 1, 2027, for built-in systems. Failure to complete the transition on time may result in certificate suspension or revocation.
