New Industry Standards for Electric Vehicle Batteries Set to Launch! This exciting development comes from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which has announced the new national standard for electric vehicle batteries. The standard, named GB38031-2025, is scheduled to be implemented starting July 1, 2026.
On April 15, 2025, the Ministry issued a mandatory national standard titled <b>Safety Requirements for Electric Vehicle Power Batteries</b>. This standard aims to enhance the safety and performance criteria for electric vehicle batteries, focusing on crucial aspects such as thermal runaway testing, battery state assessment, and vehicle testing conditions.
The revisions to this standard are expected to clarify requirements for battery thermal management, including the necessary conditions for testing thermal runaway and limiting the risk of fire and explosion. Manufacturers will need to ensure that new batteries meet stringent testing criteria, including a maximum temperature rise of 5 degrees Celsius during standard usage conditions.
Additionally, the new standard stipulates that electric vehicle batteries must withstand impacts from projectiles weighing 150 grams and striking at a speed of 30 mm, ensuring they are robust against various external factors.
On the same day, the Ministry announced that the standard would primarily focus on battery safety, especially during extreme conditions. The aim is to improve the reliability and durability of electric vehicle batteries under real-world scenarios.
The upcoming implementation of these standards reflects the government's commitment to advancing electric vehicle technology and ensuring that safety measures are in place to protect consumers. The new requirements will set a higher bar for battery manufacturers, ultimately leading to safer and more reliable electric vehicles.
