A new Chinese national standard, GB\/T 45915\u20142025, sets forth comprehensive requirements for the transport safety and intermodal shipment of traction lithium batteries. Effective from February 1, 2026, the standard outlines classifications, packaging criteria, consignment protocols, temporary storage conditions, and emergency handling measures for such batteries. It introduces a grading system\u2014Grades A, B, and C\u2014based on battery condition, safety testing, and state of charge. For transport purposes, lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries are categorized under existing UN numbers such as UN 3480 and UN 3090. Transport grades are determined by the battery\u2019s safety test compliance and charge level. Packaging must meet strict performance standards per UN regulations, with higher requirements for Grade C batteries, which are typically intended for recycling or disposal. Labels, markings, and documentation\u2014including SOC declarations and test summaries\u2014are also mandated under the new framework. Traction batteries (EV) usually require CCC certification<\/strong><\/a> or battery registration for China<\/strong><\/a> in order to be approved for import and sale in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard also specifies protocols for loading, unloading, and temporary storage, including physical inspection, package orientation, and center-of-gravity requirements within containers. Storage facilities must have fire safety infrastructure and segregated storage zones according to battery grade. During intermodal transport, the strictest mode-specific requirements must be followed, and use of safety monitoring systems like gas detectors and smoke alarms is recommended. The standard further mandates detailed emergency response procedures for fire incidents, including use of specialized extinguishing agents and post-fire thermal monitoring. A series of annexes provide test methods such as thermal runaway, vibration, and impact resistance assessments, reinforcing safety across the transport chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
