GB 31421 - MEETING CHINA'S NEW BATTERY STANDARD

摘要

As of August 1st 2015 GB 31241 replaced GB/T 18287 as the new safety standard for batteries and cells used in portable electronic equipment in China. Many manufacturers have been struggling with the importation and language barriers to gain approval to this new standard. Although many requirements are based on IEC 62133 there are variations and additional construction and testing requirements. The intent of this presentation is to assist manufacturers to ensure their batteries and cells can successfully be imported and meet the new standard. We will discuss compliance strategies, documentation requirements, testing and the future for battery certification in China.
