Updated CCC Implementation Requirements for Motorcycle Parts in China
3. July 2025China’s National Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) has announced adjustments to the CCC certification requirements for several motorcycle-related products following the introduction of new national standards. These changes were formalized during a June 2025 meeting of Technical Committee TC12. The updates affect products such as vehicle lamps, rear-view mirrors, and anti-theft locking devices, with specific implementation timelines varying by product type and standard. Motorcycle related products like these usually require CCC certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
According to the new implementation plans, products such as signal lamps and reversing lamps under standard GB5920-2024 must comply starting from July 1, 2028, while rear-view mirrors following GB11564-2024 will see enforcement from July 1, 2028, for existing models. For motorcycle locking devices regulated under GB17353-2024, compliance will be mandatory from January 1, 2028. Manufacturers holding existing CCC certifications may either choose to convert to the new versions prior to the effective date or continue using the old certification until the specified deadlines, provided the product’s technical differences do not require re-testing.
