China has been developing rapidly in the field of power battery in recent years. Data shows that seven of the top ten global power battery companies in terms of sales in 2016 came from China. China's share of the global battery market is expected to exceed 70% by 2020.

Although China's power battery occupies a large market share in the world, the market is also showing a growth trend, but the domestic power battery enterprises "large and strong". Compared with foreign enterprises, foreign power battery products based on automated production lines, the consistency of the battery is better; while most of the domestic power battery products, battery specifications, sizes, etc. are different, the production line is semi-automatic or even manual production line, the consistency of the battery is poor. There is a big gap between domestic power battery products and foreign power battery products in terms of product safety, reliability and battery life.

Since the beginning of this year, countries have introduced a series of new technical and safety regulations for batteries and related products, the impact of these new regulations on China's battery exporters need urgent attention. Compared with foreign countries, the domestic standard system in the battery industry is not perfect, resulting in the majority of enterprises in the country in line with the relevant standards, but in foreign countries due to standards do not match, can not pass the relevant tests and so on, resulting in detention or recall.

In February 2016, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission made a surprise announcement that due to theli-ion batteryThe high incidence of fire accidents requires all balance bike products sold in the U.S. to comply with UL certification for theirlithiumThe battery also needs to comply with UN38.3 certification, otherwise it will be detained or recalled. As the relevant domestic standards were still in the blank stage, due to the new U.S. regulations did not set up a transition period, more than 200 domestic balance car companies suffered an impact, and exports were interrupted.In December 2016, the new version of the EU battery certification standards were fully implemented, which stipulated that the cadmium content of portable batteries and accumulators for cordless power tools sold and used in the EU market shall not exceed 0.002%, and the domestic standards for power tools Battery cadmium content of the relevant standards are not perfect, resulting in billions of dollars of domestic exports of power tools industry has a huge impact. Due to the standard system is not perfect, the relevant foreign standards to adapt to the degree of inadequacy and other issues, China's batteries and related products exported repeatedly by the "halted".

The reason for this, the domestic battery industry does not have a relatively perfect standardization system, relying only on battery companies to develop appropriate programs based on their own business situation, the product is often difficult to meet the relatively stringent audit of foreign markets, compared with foreign battery companies, it is difficult to form a competitive edge, the overseas battery market continues to be occupied by foreign companies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the construction of product standardization system to help domestic battery enterprises "from big to strong".And the construction of the standard system is usually based on market hotspots and demand. In the specific standard-setting level, the formation of any industry rules and standards can not be completed by a single enterprise, the need to collaborate on the use of industry upstream, midstream and downstream forces to jointly promote.

Recently, China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association Power Battery Application Branch and UL Certification signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Suzhou. The signing of this cooperation MOU will help the construction of the standardization system of domestic power battery products and help domestic power battery products to go overseas.

Power Battery Application Branch of China Chemical and Physical Power Supply Industry Association (CCPPSIA) is a national secondary branch under CCPPSIA, which is the only non-profit social organization focusing on the application field of China's power battery industry. UL Certification Co., Ltd. is a company invested and operated by the U.S. UL in China, and it is a global and independent company engaging in the safety testing and identification, with a nearly 100-year history in the field of safety standard development and product testing. It has a history of nearly 100 years in the field of safety standardization and product testing.

Ms. Zhang Yu, Secretary General of Power Battery Application Branch, said that three national standards on product specification size, coding rules and recycling residual energy testing of power batteries have been formally announced, which indicates that both the policy level, and some domestic research institutions, enterprises and other levels are actively promoting the work of domestic power battery standards. With the implementation of the corresponding standards, the previous industrial difficulties or bottlenecks caused by these problems due to the lack of uniformity of standards will be gradually resolved.

Shih Jun, general manager of UL Meiwa Certification Co., Ltd. said that the power battery as theelectric vehicleAs a core component of the power battery industry, the industry environment and the technical specifications of the battery itself will receive more and more attention. However, the power battery industry, such as too many models and size specifications are not uniform and other issues, resulting in "small and scattered" manufacturing methods, is not conducive to the healthy development of the power battery industry, but also difficult to help domestic enterprises to play a competitive advantage in the international market.

With the improvement of the future power battery related standard system, China's power battery enterprises will usher in a new chapter. Domestic power battery enterprises will eventually realize the "bigger and stronger", gradually narrowing the gap with foreign battery companies, and promote China's realization of the "automotive power" to "automotive power" from the "automotive power" of the leap! The power battery enterprises will eventually realize "bigger and stronger" and gradually narrow the gap with foreign battery enterprises, promoting China to realize the leap from "automobile power" to "automobile power".
