CNBC AI News – June 29th: China’s aviation authorities have implemented new regulations regarding the use of power banks aboard domestic flights, effective June 28th. Passengers are now banned from carrying power banks that lack the China Compulsory Certification (3C) mark, have unclear 3C markings, or are part of a recalled model or batch.
Our team on location at Terminal 3 of Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport observed the implementation of these new rules firsthand.
The airport has proactively set up five dedicated power bank inspection stations at the security checkpoint entrances, staffed with personnel to pre-check devices. Additionally, each security lane is equipped with a designated disposal bin for passengers to voluntarily discard non-compliant power banks.
Volunteer staff are also on hand to inform travelers about the updated regulations and to assist them with the appropriate handling of non-compliant devices. Informative materials, including lists of recalled power bank models, are prominently displayed throughout the terminal.
Recognizing that travelers may inadvertently carry non-compliant devices, the airport is offering several options to ease the transition.
The 3C certification, or China Compulsory Certification, signifies that a power bank has met the standards for electrical safety, battery safety, and environmental protection set by the Chinese government. These certified devices are deemed safe for use, posing no risk of electric fire, shock, or harm to human health or the environment.
Even with a 3C mark, a power bank isn’t automatically flight-approved. Compliance also hinges on capacity limits.
Power banks with a rated energy capacity of 100Wh or less do not require airline approval. Those exceeding 100Wh but not exceeding 160Wh can be carried with airline approval, with a limit of two per passenger.
