Group 3: Implementation and Scope - The standard applies to all electronic products with non-volatile storage media produced or sold within China, including smartphones, tablets, and computers, while excluding products related to national secrets [48]. - A transition period of 13 months is provided for compliance with the new standard, ensuring that all new and imported electronic products meet the requirements upon implementation [45][48].
