The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced on August 10, 2026, that the mandatory national safety code GB 44246-2024 and its more than 100 associated standards have entered full implementation. The updated regulatory framework elevates safety mandates for small household and kitchen appliances, enforcing strict technical controls on internal operating temperature rises, anti-electric shock double insulation, electronic control safety redundancies, and material non-toxicity for food-contact components. Certification bodies emphasize that all small appliances manufactured, sold, or imported in China must demonstrate compliance with the updated code to ensure product safety throughout their service lifecycles.
