The Civil Aviation Administration of China has recently issued an announcement, specifying that, effective June 28, passengers are barred from carrying power banks aboard domestic flights if they lack 3C markings, have unclear 3C markings, or have been recalled. This regulation has sparked concern among some netizens, who have reported that airport security checks have also prevented the carriage of original camera batteries without 3C markings. To address these concerns and clarify the situation, the Ministry of Emergency Management has stepped in.

The primary objective of this measure is to ensure aviation safety and mitigate the rising incidents of fire and smoke involving lithium battery products, particularly power banks, on aircraft. The Civil Aviation Administration has taken stringent control measures in response to these safety concerns.

It is important to note that the regulations specifically target power banks and do not extend to camera batteries. The misunderstanding regarding the prohibition of camera batteries without 3C markings has been clarified. Passengers are advised to check the latest regulations and guidelines issued by the Civil Aviation Administration to avoid any inconvenience during their travels.
