Revised CCAP Certification Rules for Seat Belts in Line with GB 14166-2024
1. May 2025China Automotive Certification Center Co., Ltd. (CCAP) has issued revised implementation rules for the CCAP mark certification of automobile seat belts under document CCAP-GZ-5810:2025. This revision aligns certification processes with the new national standard GB 14166-2024, “Seat belts and restraint systems for motor vehicle occupants,” which comes into effect on July 1, 2025, replacing GB 14166-2013. Key updates in the new rules include revisions to the certification basis, redefinition of certification units, modified requirements for key components and raw materials, updated factory inspection schedules, and changes to certification renewal processes. Seat Belts can obtain CCAP mark certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
Under the new requirements, clients may voluntarily choose to certify using either the 2013 or 2024 standard prior to the latter’s enforcement date. Post-July 2025, certification must comply with the new standard. Existing certificates based on the 2013 standard remain valid but must be transitioned to the updated framework through renewal or extension. Non-updated certificates will be suspended starting July 1, 2026, and may be revoked if not updated within three months. Designated laboratories are required to submit updated testing capabilities and technical data per CNCA directives, and to report testing fees to CCAP accordingly.
