Latest notice (G/TBT/N/TPKM/566/Add.1, 6 January 2026)
The latest notice says the measure was adopted or published.
Legal Inspection Requirements for Secondary Lithium Cell Blocks, Battery Packs (Modules), Battery Systems for battery energy storage systems (BESS) use
The purpose of this notification is to provide the final texts of 'Legal Inspection Requirements for Secondary Lithium Cell Blocks, Battery Packs (Modules), Battery Systems for battery energy storage systems (BESS) use' and relevant dates of its implementation. The draft texts notified in 'G/TBT/N/TPKM/566' were adopted without changes.
To achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, it is expected that renewable energy power generation equipment and energy storage systems will gradually enter households and communities. Due to the risks associated with thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries used in energy storage systems, the BSMI proposes to add secondary lithium cell blocks, battery packs (modules), and battery systems with capacity between 1 kWh and 100 kWh (inclusive), used in battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the mandatory inspection scope. Two alternative conformity assessment procedures are made available for the choice of applicants, i.e. Registration of Product Certification (RPC) or Type-Approved Batch Inspection (TABI).
