Updated Implementation Timeline for Electric Bicycle Certification in China
12. December 2025The National Certification and Accreditation Administration of China has issued Announcement No. 25 of 2025 to strengthen the management of compulsory product certification for electric bicycles. In alignment with national directives, including the joint guidelines issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the Fire and Rescue Bureau, the announcement reaffirms the transition to updated technical standards. Electric bicycles that do not comply with the revised 2024 version of the “Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications” (GB 17761) but were produced or imported before August 31, 2025, may still be sold under the older standards until November 30, 2025. Electric bicycles usually require CCC certification in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
All valid CCC certificates issued under the previous standard will be officially canceled by designated certification bodies starting December 1, 2025. Additionally, any suspended certificates that cannot be reinstated will be revoked on the same date. After the cancellation or revocation, the sale of uncertified electric bicycles is strictly prohibited. Enterprises found in violation of these provisions will face legal consequences enforced by local market supervision authorities.
