Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Holds Solid-State Battery Standards Meeting, 10 Draft

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a meeting to discuss 10 draft industry standards for solid-state lithium batteries, covering the full industry chain and three major technical routes: sulfide, oxide, and polymer. The China Electronics Standardization Institute is overseeing the drafting. The standards are divided into four core electrolyte material standards, three cell and general standards, and three testing and safety standards. They complement the national standard GB/T 43568-2026, which defines semi-solid batteries as having 5% to 20% liquid electrolyte, and all-solid-state batteries as having less than 5% and passing a 120°C vacuum test with weight loss under 0.5%. The push for standards aims to curb disorderly expansion and marketing hype in the sector.
