Some electric bicycles' 3C certification hits a snag, consumers face obstacles registering purchased vehicles
IT Home, November 15 news: According to a report today by China National Radio's Voice of China, electric bicycles purchased by consumers in multiple regions cannot be registered because the corresponding 3C certification certificates have been suspended, involving some models from brands including Ninebot, Yadea, Aima, and Xinri.
Ms. Wen in Guangzhou bought a Ninebot electric bicycle on October 21. The store promised it could be registered, and the certificate of conformity passed review on October 23. Due to tight appointment availability, the earliest she could book was November 6. When she canceled the appointment and re-verified, she discovered the certificate had been suspended. The store said the certificates of conformity for a batch of models from the brand had all been suspended, with recovery expected in mid-to-late November or by the end of the month; if it still doesn't work by then, the vehicle can be returned, but a full refund is not guaranteed.
Ms. Liu bought a vehicle in late September. When she went to the processing point in late October, she was told the certificate had been suspended. Both the store and Ninebot customer service told her to wait, and the merchant later refused to accept a return on the grounds that the vehicle had been activated. Mr. Chen in Wuhan said that the relevant certificates were suspended locally starting around September 29, involving multiple models from Aima, Xinri, and Yadea.
Staff at a Guangzhou police-post cooperative outlet said that 3C certification data is uniformly pushed by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the State Administration for Market Regulation. Vehicle management departments are only responsible for receiving and verifying it and have no authority to modify or restore certification status. Certificate issues need to be verified with dealers or manufacturers, or reported to market regulation authorities.
Customer service for all three brands gave no clear timetable: Ninebot said the certificates are under review and there is no specific date for completion; Yadea said it was a temporary adjustment of local policy, the recovery time is not yet clear, and the market side is actively coordinating; Aima said the recovery time depends on the review progress of the competent authorities.
IT Home noted that starting November 1, the new rules for electric bicycle 3C certification officially took effect, implementing full-chain traceability management of "one vehicle, one battery, one charger, one code."
According to an October 16 report by China Market Regulation News, before the new rules took effect, the State Administration for Market Regulation carried out full-coverage factory inspections of 201 electric bicycle manufacturers nationwide. It found that some enterprises arbitrarily replaced key components, exercised lax control over production processes, conducted routine inspections as a mere formality, and even reserved tampering space for removing speed limits. Certification bodies have been urged to revoke or suspend the relevant certificates in accordance with the law.
According to an October 23 report by CCTV News, since the beginning of this year, certification bodies have cumulatively revoked 50,800 CCC certification certificates. The new version of the rules also strengthens anti-tampering design and tightens post-certification supervision; if a mass-produced vehicle is inconsistent with the certified sample, the corresponding model's certificate can be suspended or revoked.
An industry insider told Voice of China that there is a lag between automakers' rectification and certificate suspension, dealers find it difficult to keep timely track of backend certification changes and are still selling existing vehicles in compliance, and the lack of real-time cross-departmental information sharing also makes it difficult for regulators to predict in advance. 马亮, a professor at Peking University's School of Government, believes that strengthening certification and safety supervision is very necessary, but production, sales, certification, and registration involve multiple entities, and regulatory data sharing across regions and departments should be promoted to connect vehicle purchase, certification verification, and registration services.
