On October 12, 2017, the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China (CNCA) announced that motorcycle helmets, electric blankets, and electric bicycles were taken from voluntary certification into the scope of China Compulsory Certification (CCC).

During the transition period from November 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018, companies already holding a valid manufacturing license for motorcycle helmets and electric blankets can renew it with a CCC certificate for the relevant products.

From November 1, 2017, the authorities were no longer accepting applications for manufacturing licenses for motorcycle helmets and electric blankets. Companies not holding a valid manufacturing license for motorcycle helmets and electric blankets can apply for CCC instead.
