China Sets New EV Battery Safety Standard: GB38031-2025

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


China has introduced a new, more rigorous EV battery safety standard, GB38031-2025, replacing the 2020 version. It becomes mandatory for new vehicles by July 1, 2026, and for existing ones by July 1, 2027, allowing a 12-month transition period.

Key Changes in the Standard:

  • 2-Hour Containment: Batteries must not catch fire or explode for 120 minutes post-thermal event (up from 5 minutes).
  • 5-Minute Early Warning: Alarms must trigger within 5 minutes of a thermal incident, without smoke reaching the cabin.
  • Real-World Failure Testing: Includes steel ball drop tests and simulated internal shorts.
  • Fast-Charging Stress Test: Batteries must remain safe after 300 ultra-fast charge cycles (20–80% SOC).
  • Environmental Testing: Includes extended salt spray exposure and delayed combustion tests.

Industry Impact:

According to Dr. Kai-Philipp Kairies (CEO, ACCURE), this is a “full reset” in safety, positioning China as a global leader in battery safety standards.

Winners:

  • CATL, BYD: Already ahead in thermal management systems.
  • Solid-state battery firms (QingTao, WeLion): Fire-resistant chemistries get a boost.
  • Testing and certification labs: Demand surge expected.

Losers:

  • Cost-constrained battery makers: Compliance could raise costs by 10–20%.
  • Older NMC chemistries: May struggle to meet new benchmarks.
