Webinar: Regulatory Changes for Automotive Batteries in China
5. June 2025In cooperation with Shanghai Motor Vehicle Inspection Center (SMVIC) MPR is hosting a webinar on July 3, 2025, from 09.00-10.00 am (CET) to address the regulatory changes for automotive batteries in China.
With the latest regulatory changes published by CNCA there is a major shift from a “range competition” to a “safety trust-driven” direction for the new energy vehicle sector.

The latest regulatory changes include:
- GB/T31484-2015 (Cycle life requirements and test methods for power batteries for electric vehicles (No. 1 Amendment Order 2025)
- GB/T31486-2024
- GB38031-2025 (implementation 01.07.2026)
This webinar will focus on the regulatory changes published in GB38031-2025. The requirements for “no fire and no explosion” have been elevated to a mandatory standard for the first time. The “safety requirements” include 7 cell and 17 battery pack or system test items. Apart from “overcharge,” “external short circuit,” and “temperature cycling,” all other items have been revised or added, with 3 of them being new or significantly revised.
The webinar will be held by representatives of SMVIC via Teams in English and is free of charge.
For participation, please submit your registration via info@mpr-international.com prior to June 30, 2025.
