China domestic flights: power bank CCC marking rule

For China domestic flights, power banks without a clear CCC mark, or recalled models and batches, cannot be carried by passengers.

Scope

Applies to passenger-carried power banks on domestic flights within China. It is not a blanket rule for every international flight to or from China; airline, airport and transit rules can add requirements.

What the authority says

  • The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) says the restriction took effect on 28 June 2025.
  • A missing CCC mark, an unclear CCC mark, or a recalled model or batch makes the power bank ineligible for a China domestic flight.
  • Security screening may check the label, physical condition and recall status before boarding.

Before-you-fly checklist

  1. 1Confirm that the CCC mark is present and legible on the power bank before leaving for the airport.
  2. 2Check the model and batch against any recall notice from the manufacturer or authority.
  3. 3Keep the power bank in cabin baggage and also confirm the operating airline’s Wh and quantity limits.
