Nitecore is preparing to release a new line of power banks that feature the China Compulsory Certificate mark. The company announced this development on May 24, 2024. This certification is also known as the CCC or Triple C mark. The move aligns with stricter regulatory requirements for electronic devices in China.
The primary specification for these new devices is the inclusion of the CCC mark. This certification is mandatory for power banks sold in the Chinese domestic market. Nitecore holds the CCC mark for these specific units, ensuring they meet local safety and quality standards. The brand is owned by the Chinese company Sysmax.
The first Nitecore power banks with the CCC mark are expected to be available in June. This availability is limited to the Chinese region. The certification process for the CCC mark can take significant time to complete. This timeline explains the gap between the announcement and the expected release window.
The push for CCC certification follows increased scrutiny of lithium-ion batteries in aviation. Power banks without the CCC mark are banned from Chinese domestic flights. This regulation stems from safety concerns regarding in-flight incidents. Air Busan Flight 391 experienced a fire incident in early 2025, which contributed to tighter regulations. Statistics from South Korea indicate that power banks are more likely to cause in-flight incidents than smartphones.
Nitecore has not confirmed the specific models included in this initial CCC-certified lineup. The company has also not disclosed pricing details for these new units. The final report on the Air Busan incident remains pending, which may influence future regulatory adjustments.
