your one-stop certification solution!

E-Mobility China

There are various requirements that must be met by the respective vehicle or component manufacturer for the e-mobility sector in China. The complete vehicles as well as manufacturers of batteries (cells, modules, packs), charging systems and powertrains are subject to the Chinese regulations and must obtain all certifications needed. Cost, requirements and process barriers can be difficult to navigate for manufacturers and the OEMs.

Requirements Management

MPR China Certification supports companies in the validation of requirements management and in the assessment of developments in the field of e-mobility in China. In order to meet the requirements for the conformity of products, also over their life cycle, an ongoing review of the regulatory and product-specific requirements is necessary. With our regulatory support you will be informed about all upcoming changes for batteries (cells, modules, packs, systems) and powertrains (e-motors). We are happy to support you in evaluating requirements from your specifications regarding testing, registration, certification and monitoring obligations and to give you an outlook on possible developments and associated costs. You can find more information about our consulting services in the Consulting section.

Product Testing for Batteries and Powertrains

Vehicle manufacturers are required to provide evidence of product conformity in the technical description sheet of the complete vehicle as part of their overall vehicle approval in China. This is often done by accredited test reports, whereby two formats are to be distinguished. The MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology)/ Gonggao test report and the CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) test report. Both types of test reports must be performed at a CNAS accredited test laboratory in China. MPR China Certification has partnerships with several accredited test laboratories in China and can offer all tests from a single source.

Battery Tests

Vehicle manufacturers must demonstrate testing at the cell, module, pack and system levels. It must be ensured that the cells, modules and packs also meet the requirements in China in terms of structure and dimensions. GB/T 34013 provides the general framework for this. In addition to initial tests, which must generally be carried out in MIIT format, there are also requirements for ongoing COP tests, which must be carried out during production.

Testing of Electric Motors

Electric motors and their inverters must be tested in accordance with standards GB/T 18488.1 and GB/T 18488.2. Preparatory clarification with the test laboratories regarding control, fixing and marking regulations is important, especially that the marking of the motors must already be applied to the test samples so that a test report can be issued. In many cases the test labs specify that a member of the manufacturer’s staff should be present during the tests, specifically during the performance tests, to ensure a smooth process. MPR China Certification can arrange for the manufacturer’s staff to accompany the product testing in China including providing an interpreter, organizing letters of invitation for the visa application and travel assistance.

Registration of Battery Systems in China

Manufacturers of cells, modules and packs/systems must register with the MIIT authority in China in accordance with regulation GB/T 34014 and mark their products for current series and after-sales. The management of the assigned numbers as well as their structure must be precisely defined and displayed.

For more information on the registration process and scope, see Battery System Registration.

CCAP Certification and CQC Certification

While a CCC obligation for batteries of household products was introduced in China at the end of 2022, there is currently no obligation for CCC certification in the area of batteries and power trains (e-motors) for electric vehicles. There is the possibility to approve batteries (CCAP-GZ-3703-2020 or CQC12-464221-2017) as well as e-motors (CQC11-469122-2015) according to the implementing regulations of CCAP/CQC in the course of a voluntary certification. There are several advantages to having the voluntary certification to both the manufacturer and the OEM. The main advantages are the ongoing third party oversight to confirm continuous compliance to Chinese regulations and to take the burden off of the OEM to prove their supplier‘s compliance for their type approvals. Vehicle manufacturers can largely transfer the topic of change management to the supplier, since in this case, analogous to a CCC certification, a certificate number is specified in the technical description sheet of the complete vehicle. MPR China Certification assumes that the authorities CNCA or SAMR will implement the CCC obligation on e-motors as well as traction batteries in the next few years. If CCC becomes mandatory, the voluntary CCAP or CQC certification can be the basis for this CCC certification and make direct conversion possible. More information on the procedure, requirements and processes can be found on the CCAP/CQC certification page.

Customs Clearance Services

Test samples (batteries, e-motors, etc.) need to be imported into China for product testing and validation. MPR supports the process of customs clearance and the local transportation from customs to the relevant test laboratory in China. MPR offers consulting services regarding requirements for transport and import including product testing according to UN 38.3, requirements according to IMGD-Code or IATA-DGR (ICAO-TI), classification of Li-batteries (UN 3480, UN3481). MPR can also provide a consignee in China for the import of the test samples.
