China introduces Certification Requirements for Sodium-Ion Batteries in Energy Storage Systems

The China Quality Certification Center (CQC) has officially introduced a new certification program targeting sodium-ion batteries used in electric energy storage systems. The initiative is governed by the certification rule CQC13-464292-2025 and aligns with the national standard GB/T 44265-2024, which outlines the technical specifications for sodium-ion batteries deployed in energy storage power stations. Under business code 024029, the CQC’s New Energy Product Department is now accepting certification applications through its official website. Interested manufacturers can reach out to the department’s engineers for further guidance. Various battery systems and components usually require CCC certification or a battery registration for China in order to be approved for import and sale in China.

China enforces Mandatory Registration for Energy Storage Batteries

Starting August 1, 2024, energy storage battery products are now subject to mandatory registration under the battery product registration platform maintained by the China Quality Certification Center (CQC). This registration is based on the implementation rules outlined in “Battery Product Registration Rules for Energy Storage” (CQC-C1203-2024), which apply to both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries used in electric energy storage systems. Registration information submitted will be shared with the National Energy Administration’s electric power safety monitoring platform, enhancing supervision and oversight. Various battery systems and components usually require CCC certification or a battery registration for China in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
