I. Lithium battery product quality standard requirements

Lithium batteries have wide applications, including consumer electronics, automotive power systems and industrial energy storage equipment. Depending on usage, lithium batteries must meet specific international quality and safety standards:

• Consumer lithium batteries: Must comply with international standards such as IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 62133 to ensure safety performance.
• Commercial and industrial energy storage batteries: Must comply with standards such as IEC 62619 and IEC 63056 to meet higher safety and reliability requirements.
• Automotive power batteries: Must comply with regulations such as ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) R100 and ECE R136 to ensure compliance with stringent safety standards for automotive power systems.

Additionally, manufacturers must possess strong technical capabilities and production capacity to ensure battery products undergo rigorous testing such as short-circuit, overcharge, and thermal abuse, enabling long-term stable operation.

II. Lithium battery transportation safety requirements

Lithium batteries are classified as dangerous goods due to their high energy density and flammability. Export requires compliance with relevant international transport regulations, including:

• Air Transportation: Compliance with the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO-TI).
• Maritime Transportation: Compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).
• Road transportation: Compliance with the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
• : Comply with the Regulations Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID).: Enterprises need to adjust the packaging, declaration and testing processes according to the specific mode of transportation.

According to the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Commodity Inspection, lithium - ion batteries for export need to use packaging containers that have passed performance inspection:import and exportThe Commodity Inspection Law stipulates that lithium batteries for export must pass the use appraisal of dangerous goods packaging by the local customs. Only battery products that obtain the "Certificate of Appraisal for the Use of Transport Packaging of Export Dangerous Goods" (commonly known as the "Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate" or "Dangerous Packing Certificate") can be exported. When applying for the "Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate," the following documents must be submitted:

1. Factory inspection report.
2. Inspection Result Certificate for Packaging Performance of Import and Export Goods.,
3. Materials such as the dangerous characteristics classification identification report.

III. Conditions for lithium battery exemption from dangerous goods packaging certification,

Although most lithium batteries require a "Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate," the following two scenarios are exempt:

1. Lithium batteries installed in equipment: Such as lithium batteries with UN3171 (installed in electric vehicles, electric bicycles, etc.), which are exempt from dangerous goods packaging requirements.
2. Lithium batteries that comply with special regulations: Such as Special Provision 188 in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code:
   • Lithium metal or lithium alloy batteries with a lithium content not exceeding 1g.
   • Lithium-ion batteries with a watt-hour ratio not exceeding 20Wh.
   • Lithium battery packs with a total lithium content not exceeding 2g or a watt-hour ratio not exceeding 100Wh.

IV. Export precautions

As regulations on new energy batteries are updated rapidly in various countries, export requirements may vary depending on the product type and destination country. The following points require special attention:

1. Regulatory Updates: Regulatory requirements in destination countries and regions may change periodically and must be monitored closely.
2. Compliance communication: Maintain close communication with customs, certification bodies, and relevant departments in the destination country to ensure compliance with all necessary requirements.
3. provided by the overseas manufacturer and prepare in advance: Product testing, packaging appraisal, and other compliance processes may take a long time and should be planned in advance.
