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.
Passengers can inquire on information on flights, lost and found, transportation, washing rooms and restaurants on the touch screen machine at the passenger service center in Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport (PVG).
At present, the machine, which was developed by the airport’s own research and development personnel, receives more than 4,000 visits every day.
The R&D team is named after a model worker in Shanghai -- Pan Shuohua and consists of employees from different departments and educational backgrounds.
They developed an informational and interactive platform, dubbed the “Octopus System”, to grab information from the airport, air traffic control center and airlines and then visually present the customized data on the touch screen in real-time.
The team plan to use Augmented Reality and indoor positioning technology to integrate the navigation system with the real scene, so passengers will be able to get easier access to the information they need.
As an airport handling thousands of flights and about 200,000 passengers a day, PVG produces huge amounts of data and information on a daily basis which will now be accessible to passengers at the touch of a finger.
