The strictest ever power bank regulation in history will be implemented in April 2027, with multi-cell companies passing the trial test.

According to informed sources, China's first mandatory national standard for "Mobile Power Safety Technical Specifications" was officially released on March 31, 2026, and will be implemented starting from April 1, 2027. The source revealed that the specific regulations have not been made public yet, but 28 battery cell companies including ATL, Lishen, BYD, Huizhou Marathon, and 5 chip and BMS solution companies have already passed the preliminary tests. Journalists have learned from the industry that in response to long-standing issues such as overrated capacity, inferior battery cells, and frequent safety incidents, the new regulations have made multiple technological breakthroughs: It is explicitly required that mobile power batteries must pass a needle puncture test to ensure they do not catch fire or explode; the temperature and duration of the thermal abuse test have been further tightened; new stringent safety tests, such as whole machine drop and compression, have been added, and it is mandatory for products to label their safe service life, as well as improve protection mechanisms against overcurrent, short circuits, etc.
