China’s CQC launches Certification for Second-Life NEV Batteries
20. February 2025The China Quality Certification Center (CQC) has officially launched the certification process for second-life power batteries used in new energy vehicles (NEVs). Enterprises can now apply for certification under this initiative, which aims to regulate the reuse of vehicle batteries in other applications. For cascaded use, the traceability code of such batteries must first be changed in accordance with MIIT battery registration for China and GB standard GB/T34014.
The certification applies to Fixed Second-life Batteries (Category 332301) and follows the GB 40165-2021 standard for lithium-ion battery safety in stationary electronic equipment. Additionally, it adheres to the YD/T 3768.1-2020 standard, which outlines technical requirements and testing methods for second-use lithium iron phosphate batteries in communication base stations. Certification will be conducted under the CNCA: EBEU-01:2023 rules for second-life NEV batteries.
Manufacturers can submit their certification applications via the CQC website, with further details available through consultation with CQC engineers.
