The rules also set specific standards for energy density, cycle life and other technical parameters for different types of lithium batteries. The regulations come as China’s lithium battery installations have seen explosive growth in recent years, driven by strong domestic demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage.
The regulations also cover various aspects of the industry such as plant layout, production processes, product performance, safety and quality control, environmental protection, and social responsibility. The draft regulations address the environmental impact of the lithium battery industry.
This test is sufficient to prove how important it is to export lithium batteries and compliant packaging, although lithium batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods. But once an accident occurs, the power of the explosion is enormous. Because there are many details to consider when importing lithium batteries from China.
The battery belongs to the Chinese legal inspection category, so commodity inspection is required. Lithium batteries can also be used for a tax refunds. Which battery outlets do not need to provide MSDS?
Lithium batteries imported from China to Europe are suitable for the EU region. They are divided into safety and performance tests. The certification period ranges from a few days to a year, and the certification costs range from several thousand RMB to tens of thousands of RMB.
On December 5, 2014, the National Standardization Administration of China issued Announcement No. 27, approving the issuance of 234 national standards, including the “Safety Requirements for Lithium-Ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Portable Electronic Products” ( GB31241-2014).
