Latest notice (G/TBT/N/TPKM/564/Add.1, 6 January 2026)
The latest notice says the measure was adopted or published.
Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Stationary Lithium Battery Storage Appliances
The purpose of this notification is to provide the final texts of 'Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Stationary Lithium Battery Storage Appliances' and relevant dates of its implementation. The draft texts notified in 'G/TBT/N/TPKM/564' were adopted without changes.
To support the global transition to net-zero emissions and align with national energy policies promoting the use of renewable energy and energy storage appliances, the BSMI has included stationary lithium battery storage appliances with a capacity of up to 20 kWh in the mandatory inspection scope to ensure product safety. As these appliances can be expanded based on user needs, the BSMI has proposed broadening the inspection scope to 100 kWh and require communications security inspections for power conversion system (PCS) with a capacity exceeding 20 kW to reduce potential threats to grid security. Conformity Assessment Procedures will remain unchanged.
