Mandatory national standard "GB 19517-2023 National technical specification for the safety of electric equipment" was released in May 2023 and will come into force in June 2024.

GB 19517 is so-called China's "Low Voltage Directive". It lays down the market access requirements for almost all low voltage electric equipment. Any product that doen't follow the requirements of this standard will face huge compliance risk in China, including hefty fine or denied access. 

GB 19517-2023 stipulates the basic safety requirements for various types of electrical equipment intended for indoor and outdoor use, including handheld, portable, and fixed equipment, with an AC rated voltage of 1000V (1140V) or below and a DC rated voltage of 1500V or below.
