Civil Aviation Administration of China: Power banks without 3C certification or recalled models banned on domestic flights
To ensure the safety of aviation operations, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has issued an urgent notice. Starting June 28, passengers are prohibited from carrying power banks that lack a 3C certification label, have unclear 3C labeling, or belong to recalled models or batches on domestic flights. (For details, please visit the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation's Defective Product Recall Technical Center at www.samrdprc.org.cn/xfpzh/xfpgnzh)
Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport will enforce the requirements of this notice to ensure passenger safety. We kindly ask all passengers to comply with this notice by carefully checking the certification label, brand, and model of your power banks before traveling. Please do not bring non-compliant power banks on board. Remove your power bank before security checks to prevent travel delays.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport has been taking measures to ensure service quality in a time when enhanced health screening procedures are in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Besides placing signs in different languages across its premises to help guide travelers, the airport has also stationed staff at various points to assist with their inquiries.
Passengers who are transiting in the airport can also reduce the time required to undergo these procedures by scanning the QR code of an online information registration system developed for them to report their health conditions.
Presently, all passengers arriving in Shanghai from locations outside of mainland China are required to undergo a 14-day quarantine. Those waiting to be transferred to designated quarantine places can rest on chairs that have been specially placed for such individuals. Hot water is also readily available at all hours.
Meanwhile, the Shanghai Airport Authority has prepared disinfection products, power banks and instant food products.
A mobile phone luggage declaration service has also been launched for travelers who need to be sent directly to quarantine after landing. Airport staff will find the luggage that have been declared and deliver them to the doorsteps of the quarantine rooms.
