GB/T 19865‑2024 Safety of Electric Toys came into force on August 1, 2026, fully replacing the long‑implemented GB 19865‑2005. Benchmarked against the international standard IEC 62115:2017, this revision fills many long‑standing regulatory gaps. This update covers more than hardware safety improvements: optical radiation and software reliability are for the first time set as mandatory requirements under the national standard. In parallel, conversion of CCC certificates has been launched. Delayed conversion may lead to certificate suspension or revocation, which will stop products from normal production and shipment.

Many sellers initially suspect product quality defects. However, review of numerous real‑world cases shows that a large number of delistings are not caused by faulty hardware. Instead, sellers are still following outdated compliance workflows and failing to understand Amazon’s latest policies for lithium‑ion‑battery‑powered smart home and consumer electronics.

The market for automotive consumer electronics keeps expanding, and on‑board power supplies have become high‑frequency accessories for vehicle owners. Both vehicle‑mounted inverter power supplies and vehicle fast‑charging power adapters are seeing sustained market demand. Many manufacturers focus on product refinement and sales expansion while ignoring mandatory‑certification obligations. Multiple manufacturers have encountered product delisting, cargo seizure and administrative penalties due to missing certificates, rendering their well‑developed products ineligible for market circulation. On‑board power supplies fall within China’s mandatory‑certification control catalogue. CCC certification is an indispensable prerequisite for legal market release.

Driven by growing demand in energy‑storage and portable‑power‑supply scenarios, China’s lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) battery industry keeps expanding. Many manufacturers are targeting the vast overseas market. Nevertheless, market‑access rules vary across jurisdictions. A great number of enterprises encounter practical setbacks such as failed customs clearance upon cargo arrival, disqualified bidding qualifications and product returns. Faced with complicated overseas‑access requirements, CB certification under the IECEE‑CB System becomes a vital solution for LFP‑battery manufacturers.

With growing demand for consumer aerial photography, agricultural plant protection and industrial‑inspection drones, many domestic manufacturers are expanding into overseas markets. Numerous enterprises pour tremendous effort into polishing product performance, yet often run into trouble during cargo transportation and customs inspection. Cases are common where logistics providers reject shipments, or customs detains and returns goods, delaying delivery cycles and costing customer orders. In most instances, root causes lie in missing UN38.3 certification for drone lithium‑ion batteries. Many industry practitioners have limited understanding of this certification, including its applicable scenarios, application procedures and practical functions.

The consumer‑grade TWS Bluetooth earbud market continues to boom. Many brands devote their efforts to appearance design, sound‑quality tuning and noise‑reduction feature upgrades, yet tend to overlook compliance requirements for batteries, a core component. Quite a few manufacturers finish the R&D of complete earbud units and prepare to launch products on e‑commerce platforms and offline channels, only to find their products cannot circulate in the market due to missing 3C certification for batteries, which seriously delays new‑product launch schedules. There is a widespread misconception that once the complete earbud obtains certification, its built‑in battery is automatically compliant. In fact, lithium‑ion batteries used in TWS earbuds fall under mandatory regulatory control, and the battery itself must obtain CCC certification without exception.

On 10 August 2026, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) re‑included Bisphenol F (BPF) on the SVHC Intention List. The previous proposal for this substance had been withdrawn. This iteration uses the original hazard assessment evidence. Industry analysis indicates a high likelihood that BPF will be formally added to the SVHC Candidate List. Many manufacturers use BPF as a BPA substitute. Enterprises should watch out for risks of regrettable substitution and are advised to conduct supply‑chain screening in advance.

On August 1, 2026, GB/T 4706.1‑2024, the general safety standard for household appliances, came into force. GB 4343.1‑2024, the electromagnetic compatibility standard, took effect on June 1, 2026. With the parallel revision of the two standards, household appliance enterprises shall complete CCC certificate update and product compliance transition.
