On April 3, 2026, China’s national mandatory standard GB 47372-2026 (Safety Technical Requirements for Power Banks) was officially released. The industry calls it the strictest power bank standard ever. From April 1, 2027, all shared power banks that fail to meet the new standard must be pulled from the market, with heavy penalties for non-compliant sales. The millions of shared power banks now serving streets, malls and restaurants across the country have less than a year to complete the replacement.
1. What exactly does the new standardmake stricter?
This is no minor patch but a full-chain upgrade covering everything from cells to casings and from production to traceability.
A newnail penetration testis added - a 4 mm steel needle pierces a fully charged cell vertically at 20 mm per second and stays there for 5 minutes; no fire and no explosion, or the cell fails.
Stricter heat abuse testingis raised from 130 to 135 degrees Celsius held for 60 minutes, with overcharge voltage lifted to 1.3 times and an added protection circuit that locks the battery automatically after overcharging.
A lithium plating check after 300 cyclesis the harshest item. After 300 charge and discharge cycles a power bank must be disassembled to check for lithium dendrite formation, eliminating internal short-circuit risks.
Every power bank must be labeled with a unique identity number and a recommended safe service life, while the smart management module must monitor voltage and temperature in real time and cut off instantly on overheating.
1.1 Casing flame retardancelevels are fully upgraded and must reachClass V-0.。 Industry shakeout: a triple elimination
The shared power bank industry grew wildly over the past few years, with frequent safety incidents.In 2025 products without CCC certification were still circulating in Shenzhen, Xiamen and other cities, and in June 2026 power bank fire and smoke incidents hit a Beijing residence and a civil aviation flight one after another.
The new standard brings a triple elimination:
Technical eliminationsince nail penetration, heat abuse and lithium plating testing demand real cell R&D capability that small workshops cannot handle.
Cost eliminationbecause certification adds roughly 30 yuan per power bank, and combined with cell upgrades and smart management modules a compliant production line requires tens of millions in investment.
Time eliminationas the 12-month transition window leaves unprepared companies with almost no time.
Meituan power banks werethe first to obtain new-standard CCC certification in July 2026, but the real competition has shifted to who can stably deliver new-standard products in large volumes.
