Here is first introduced what is 3C certification:
3C certification "China compulsory certification", its English name "CHina Compulsory Certification", abbreviated as CCC. The CCC certification is marked as "CCC". It is a product conformity assessment system implemented by the Chinese government to protect the personal safety of consumers and national security, strengthen product quality management and regulations in accordance with the law. Is the national Certification and Accreditation Administration according to the "mandatory product certification management provisions" (the People's Republic of China state General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine order No.5) designated.
So the button battery is a product that can be often used in our life, does it need to do 3C certification?
There are two types of button batteries:
1, Disposable button battery: CR (manganese dioxide), BR (fluorocarbon), SR (silver oxide), LR (zinc manganese) and other batteries;
Mainly used in: electronic scale, remote control, IC card, computer motherboard, calculator, electronic watch, etc.;
This type of products mainly use disposable button batteries.
2. Recheargeable button battery: LIR (lithium cobalt oxide), ML (manganese dioxide), VL (vanadium oxide), MS (manganese silicon) and other batteries;
Mainly used in: Bluetooth headset, medical devices (blood glucose meter, hearing aid), etc.;
This type of products mainly use rechargeable button batteries, the biggest feature is rechargeable use.
According to the announcement of new inclusion of 3C products on August 1,2023:
Product type and code | Description of the product category | scope of application | Scope or list of the use of the product | remarks |
Lithium-ion battery and battery pack (0915) | A device that moves by lithium electronics between the positive and negative electrodes to convert chemical capacity to electrical energy and is designed to be rechargeable; any number of lithium-ion batteries containing a protective circuit are assembled for use. | Lithium-ion batteries and battery packs for portable electronics. | Lithium-ion batteries and battery packs for portable electronic products, such as portable office products, mobile communication products, and portable audio and video products. | 1. Applicable standard: GB31241; |
Common lithium-ion batteries are:
Lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, lithium nickelate, ternary material battery and other cathode materials;
Therefore, from the description of the new regulations, it is reflected:
At present, the disposable button battery we use is not composed of lithium-ion materials, so disposable button batteries do not need to do 3C certification, and the material of the LIR button battery in the rechargeable series we use is composed of lithium cobalt oxide in lithium-ion, which has been reflected in the new regulations. Therefore, the LIR battery we use needs to do 3C certification to ensure that the product is used in sales or other business activities.
