China Advances National Standards for Hydrogen and Vehicle Safety Technologies
China is advancing several national standardization projects related to the safety and testing of road vehicles, particularly those using hydrogen and new energy technologies. Among them, GB/T 24549-2020 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles—Safety Requirements specifies safety provisions for fuel cell electric vehicles at the vehicle and system levels. The standard is organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and implemented by the Electric Vehicle Subcommittee of the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee, with major contributors including China Automotive Technology and Research Center, Tongji University, and Zhejiang University. In parallel, a national standard plan for Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine for Vehicle—Safety Requirements is under development, defining safety requirements for hydrogen-fueled engines used in vehicles and involving multiple domestic automakers and testing institutions. There are various requirements for e-mobility in China, which must be met by the respective vehicle or component manufacturers.
Further standardization efforts include the draft national standard Road Vehicles—Compressed Gaseous Hydrogen (CGH2) and Hydrogen/Natural Gas Blends Fuel Systems—Part 2: Test Methods, which focuses on harmonizing test methodologies for hydrogen and blended fuel systems and is led by the Gas-Fueled Vehicle Subcommittee under the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee. Another draft standard, Simulation Validation Method for Lateral Dynamic Stability of Vehicle Combinations, aims to establish unified simulation and validation approaches for evaluating lateral dynamic stability of vehicle combinations, with participation from universities, testing centers, and major vehicle manufacturers.

China Advances National Standards for Electric Vehicle Battery Technologies -new Standards GB/T 38661-2020 and GB/T 31484-2015
China has recently reaffirmed and expanded its national standardization work for electric vehicle battery technologies, covering battery management systems, performance durability, recycling safety, and emerging solid-state battery components. Several standards fall under the administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and are managed by the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee and its Electric Vehicle Subcommittee. These initiatives reflect China’s continued effort to regulate the full life cycle of traction batteries, from in-vehicle performance and safety to end-of-life dismantling and advanced material applications. Batteries and battery production equipment and components usually require CCC certification or battery registration in order to be approved for import and sale in China.
Among the relevant standards, GB/T 38661-2020 specifies technical requirements for battery management systems used in electric vehicles, while GB/T 31484-2015 defines cycle life requirements and corresponding test methods for traction batteries. In addition, a draft national standard on safety requirements for dismantling and crushing traction batteries is currently under development, alongside a draft technical specification for solid electrolytes used in solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, which is planned to take effect immediately upon release. These standards are being developed with contributions from major industry stakeholders, including leading battery manufacturers, automotive research institutes, and recycling technology companies, underscoring broad industry participation in shaping China’s regulatory framework for advanced battery technologies.
