Energy storage lithium battery safety supervision enters a new stage
With the official implementation of GB 44240-2024 , the national mandatory standard for energy storage , “Safety Requirements for Lithium-ion Batteries and Battery Packs for Electrical Energy Storage Systems,” China’s safety regulation in the energy storage sector will enter a new phase. Currently, the main standards related to lithium-ion battery safety for energy storage are GB 44240-2024 and GB/T 36276-2023 . The main differences between these two standards are as follows:
standard | GB 44240-2024 | GB/T 36276-2023 |
name | Lithium batteries for energy storage systems and Battery pack safety requirements | Lithium-ion batteries for power storage |
Main drafting unit | China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute | China Electric Power Research Institute |
Standard properties | Mandatory national standards | Recommended national standards |
Release Time | July 24, 2024 | December 28, 2023 |
Implementation time | August 1, 2025 | July 1, 2024 |
Scope of application | Power energy storage , industrial and commercial energy storage, household energy storage, etc. | Power storage |
Test subjects | Batteries and battery pack systems | Batteries, battery modules, battery clusters |
pilot projects | Security Requirements | Safety and performance requirements |
Certification Type | Voluntary certification | Voluntary certification |
GB 44240-2024 , a mandatory national standard, is the entry threshold for the energy storage lithium battery market . Energy storage lithium batteries must meet this standard before being put into use or marketed. If energy storage lithium batteries are used on the grid, they must also meet GB/T 36276-2023 .
