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.
As China expanded its visa free entry policies to include Canada and the United Kingdom, an increasing number of foreign visitors began choosing Shanghai for sightseeing, family visits, and Chinese New Year festivities. In response, Shanghai Pudong International Airport decorated its terminals to enhance the celebratory mood.
The airport coordinated with citywide campaigns, including the Spring Festival consumption season and the global food fair, integrating cultural, commercial, tourism, and exhibition activities to offer visitors a lively and immersive New Year experience.
