On September 18th, it was learned that the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has launched a nationwide special campaign to safeguard the bottom line of mandatory product certification. The campaign employs a "random inspection and public disclosure" approach to inspect certification bodies, covering all 34 designated CCC certification bodies, 90 designated CCC laboratories, and 300 voluntary certification bodies. Currently, designated certification bodies have suspended 108,500 CCC certification certificates, affecting 18,500 manufacturers, and revoked 44,900 CCC certification certificates, affecting 13,000 manufacturers. Among these, over 4,200 CCC certification certificates for power banks and lithium batteries that failed to continuously meet certification requirements have been revoked or cancelled, effectively ensuring product quality and safety. Simultaneously, a special campaign to regulate certification rules for body registration is ongoing. This year, 50,200 rules have been reviewed, with 30,300 denied registration, 17,700 returned for rectification, and 2,186 approved.
