0 Introduction
This Rule is established based on the safety risk and certification risk of electric bikes.
It stipulates the basic principles and requirements for the implementation of China
Compulsory Certification for electric bikes.
This Rule can be used with other general rules, which are issued by Certification and
Accreditation Administration (CNCA), such as ?€?China Compulsory Certification
Implementation Rules - Manufacturer Classification Management, Certification Mode
Selection and Determination?€?, ?€?China Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules
- Utilization of Manufacturer Test Resource and Other Certification Results?€?, ?€?China
Compulsory Certification Implementation Rules - Factory Inspection General
Requirements?€?.
Certification agency shall compile the implementation detailed-rules for certification of
electric bikes, according to the requirements of the general implementation rules and
this Rules; shall implement them with the general implementation rules and this Rules.
1 Scope of application
This Rule applies to two-wheeled bikes, that use on-board batteries as auxiliary energy,
have pedal riding capabilities, can realize electric assist and/or electric drive functions.
Due to the changes in the laws, regulations or related product standards, technology,
industry policies and other causes which may change the applicable scope, the
announcement released by the State Administration for Market Regulation (CNCA)
shall be final and conclusive.
2 Standards for certification
The standards for the certification of this Rule are as shown in Appendix 1 ?€?Standards
for certification and type test items".
In principle, the standards used for certification shall be the latest versions, which are
issued by the National Standardization Administration. When it is necessary to use other
versions of the standards, it shall be executed, according to the applicable relevant
standards issued by the CNCA.
3 Certification modes
The basic certification model for implementing compulsory product certification for
electric bikes is:
Type test + Enterprise quality assurance capability and product consistency inspection
(initial factory inspection) + Post-certification supervision.
Post-certification supervision refers to one or various combinations of three methods:
follow-up inspection after certification, sample testing or inspection at the production
site, market sampling testing or inspection.
Certification agency shall, in accordance with requirements of ?€?China Compulsory
Certification Implementation Rules - Manufacturer Classification Management,
Certification Mode Selection and Determination?€?, implement classification
management of manufacturers. In combination with classification management results,
it shall combine the various modes of post-certification supervision, so as to determine
the certification mode suitable for certification client.
4 Division of certification units
In principle, electric bikes with similar frames, front forks, structural types, same drive
methods, battery types are one certification unit.
The same product, which is produced by the same producer and different manufacturers,
OR the same product, which is produced by different producers and the same
manufacturer, can be divided into the same certification unit.
The certification agency may appropriately relax the classification of certification units
for manufacturers with classified management level A. The certification agency shall
clarify the specific requirements for the division of certification units, in the
certification implementation detailed rules.
5 Certification entrustment
5.1 Proposal and acceptance of certification entrustment
The certification client needs to submit the certification entrustment to the certification
agency in an appropriate manner. The certification agency shall handle the certification
entrustment; provide feedback on acceptance or rejection, in accordance with the time
limit requirements in the certification implementation detailed rules.
If the requirements of national laws, regulations, relevant industrial policies are not met,
the certification agency shall not accept relevant certification entrustments.
5.2 Entrusted information
Certification agencies shall specify an entrustment data list in the certification
The certification agency shall clarify the relevant requirements for sample
delivery/sampling of certified products, in the certification implementation detailed
rules. Usually, the certification client prepares samples according to the requirements
of the type test plan and sends them to the designated laboratory. When necessary, the
certification agency may also obtain samples, through on-site sampling/sealing.
The certification client shall ensure that the samples provided are consistent with the
actual products produced. The certification agency and/or laboratory shall check the
authenticity of the samples, which are provided by the certification client. If the
laboratory has doubts about the authenticity of the sample, it shall explain the situation
to the certification agency and handle it accordingly.
6.1.3 Type test items
The type test items shall be the test items, which are specified in GB 17761 "Safety
technical specification for electric bicycle", GB 42295 "Safety requirements for electric
bicycles electrical", GB 42296 "Safety technical requirements of charger for electric
bicycles". The certification agency shall work with the laboratory, to confirm the test
items in accordance with the provisions of this Rule and the structure and technical
parameters of the certified products, which are entrusted by the certification client.
The certification agency can accept certification materials on radio disturbance
characteristics, product certificates, instructions for use, lead-acid battery packs,
lithium-ion battery packs, which are provided by the certification client; exempt the
corresponding type test items.
6.1.4 Implementation of type tests
The certification client can choose the laboratory, which is designated by the National
Certification and Accreditation Administration, to complete the type test. The
laboratory conducts type testing on samples and makes complete records of the entire
testing process and archives them, to ensure traceability of the testing process and
results.
For products that have obtained compulsory product certification (including self-
declaration), the results shall be directly recognized. For recognition of other
conformity assessment results, the certification agency shall clarify relevant
requirements in the certification implementation detailed rules.
If the manufacturer has the "Compulsory Product Certification Implementation Rules -
Utilization of Manufacturer Testing Resources and Other Certification Results" and the
testing conditions required by the certification standards, the certification agency can
use the manufacturer's testing resources to conduct production site sampling inspections
(or witness inspections). A test report will be issued by the designated laboratory.
Certification agencies shall clarify the management procedures and specific
requirements for utilizing manufacturer testing resources, in the certification
implementation detailed rules.
The certification client can first implement type test and then submit a certification
entrustment to the certification agency. The certification agency shall clearly accept the
relevant requirements of the certification client to first conduct type test, in the
certification implementation detailed rules.
For the same product, which is produced by the same producer or different
manufacturers, OR the same product, which is produced by different producers or the
same manufacturer, it can carry out type test only on one unit of sample. Products from
other manufacturers/producers need to provide information for consistency review.
6.1.5 Type test report
The certification agency shall specify a unified type test report format.
After the type test is completed, the laboratory shall promptly issue a type test report to
the certification client and certification agency (if determined). The type test report shall
contain a description of the necessary information on all products within the
certification unit. The certification client shall ensure that a complete and effective type
test report can be provided to the certification agency and law enforcement agencies
during post-certification supervision.
The certification client can provide the test report issued by the laboratory, as designated
by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration, which will be used as
the type test report after confirmation by the certification agency.
6.2 Enterprise quality assurance capabilities and product consistency
inspection
Enterprise quality assurance capabilities and product consistency inspection are the
certification agency's evaluation on whether the manufacturer's quality assurance
capabilities and product consistency control meet the certification requirements (see
Appendix 4 "Production consistency inspection requirements").
Certification agencies shall clarify the relevant requirements for enterprise quality
assurance capabilities and product consistency control, in the certification
implementation detailed rules.
Certification clients and manufacturers shall establish, implement, continuously
maintain enterprise quality assurance capabilities and product consistency control
systems, in accordance with Appendix 4 "Production consistency inspection
requirements", to ensure that certified products continue to meet certification
requirements.
7.1 Follow-up inspection after certification
Certification agencies shall, on the basis of classified management of manufacturers,
implement effective follow-up inspections of certified products and their manufacturers,
to verify that the enterprise quality assurance capabilities continue to meet certification
requirements, meanwhile, to ensure that certified products continue to meet the
requirements of certification standards and maintain consistency with the type test
samples.
The follow-up inspection after obtaining the certificate shall be carried out, during
normal production of the manufacturer, preferably without notifying the inspected party
in advance. For non-continuously produced products, the certification client shall
submit relevant production plans to the certification agency, to facilitate effective
follow-up inspections after certification. When necessary, the certification agency may
conduct extended inspections, at locations other than the manufacturer.
The certification agency shall follow the "Implementation Rules for Compulsory
Product Certification - Factory Quality Assurance Capability Requirements" and
"Implementation Rules for Compulsory Product Certification - General Requirements
for Factory Inspection", Appendix 4 "Production consistency inspection requirements",
to stipulate the specific content of the follow-up inspection requirements after
certification; clarify it in the certification implementation detailed rules.
7.2 Taking samples for testing or inspection at production site
If post-certification supervision is carried out by taking samples for testing or inspection
at the production site, the certification client, producers, manufacturers shall cooperate.
The certification agency shall clarify the content and requirements for sample testing
or inspection at the production site, in the certification implementation detailed rules.
If the manufacturer has the "Compulsory Product Certification Implementation Rules -
Utilization of Testing Resources and Other Certification Results of Manufacturers" and
the testing conditions required by the certification standards, the certification agency
can use the manufacturer's testing resources to conduct testing and recognize the
relevant results. If the manufacturer cannot meet the above testing conditions, the
sample shall be sent to a designated laboratory for testing. Certification agencies shall
clarify the specific requirements and procedures for using manufacturer testing
