Govern non-compliant lithium battery companies and upgrade the power battery industry supervision method

Recently, in order to further strengthen the management of the lithium-ion battery industry and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has reviewed the 'Regulations for the Lithium-ion Battery Industry' (hereinafter referred to as the 'Specifications') and the 'Interim Measures for the Administration of Regulatory Announcements in the Lithium-ion Battery Industry' ( Hereinafter referred to as the 'Interim Measures') were revised to form the 'Lithium-ion Battery Industry Specification Conditions (2018 Edition)' (hereinafter referred to as the '2018 Regulations') and the 'Interim Measures for the Administration of Lithium Ion Battery Industry Regulations Announcement (2018 Edition) )” (hereinafter referred to as the “2018 Interim Management Measures”), the new version of the policy will be officially implemented on February 15, 2019. The reporter made a comparison between the old and new versions of the documents, and sorted out a few differences: no longer emphasized the scale, and required upgrading of technology. According to the 'Specifications20 million square meters; the annual production capacity of electrolyte is not less than 2,000 tons, and the production capacity of electrolyte is not less than 500 tons. The '2018 Regulations' canceled the relevant requirements for the scale of production, but put forward requirements for technological innovation and technical indicators, mainly including two points: First, it should have metal harmful impurities such as iron, zinc, copper, etc., as the positive and negative electrode materials of the battery. Detection capability, detection accuracy is increased by 100 times from not less than 1ppm to not less than 10ppb; second, it is stipulated that Ru0026D expenditure shall not be less than 3% of the main business income of the enterprise in that year. It is worth noting that the '2018 Regulations' no longer requires companies to have high-tech enterprise qualifications or independent Ru0026D institutions and technology centers at or above the provincial level. Instead, companies are encouraged to obtain high-tech enterprise qualifications or Ru0026D institutions and technology centers at or above the provincial level. . In contrast, the '2018 This Code' has added relevant regulations for smart manufacturing and green manufacturing. In terms of smart manufacturing, enterprises are encouraged to actively develop smart manufacturing, reduce operating costs, shorten product production cycles, improve production efficiency, reduce product defect rates, and improve energy efficiency; in terms of green manufacturing, it is particularly proposed to encourage companies to build a green supply chain Establish a resource-saving and environment-friendly procurement, production, marketing, recycling and logistics system, promote the stakeholders in the supply chain to comply with industry standards and regulations, implement the extended producer responsibility system, and establish the recycling and treatment of waste lithium-ion batteries system. The 'Interim Measures' stipulate that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology revokes its qualification for announcement if the rectification is unqualified, or a major quality accident occurs, and production is suspended for more than one year. Enterprises that have revoked their qualifications for announcement can only re-apply for announcement after one year after they have passed the rectification and reform. The '2018 Interim Measures' stipulates that the re-application materials of enterprises whose announcements have been revoked will not be accepted within two years. In addition, the 'Interim Measures' stipulates that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shall organize or entrust a third-party testing agency to conduct spot checks on the products of the announced enterprises. Enterprises that fail the spot check will be notified and ordered to make rectification; the enterprises that fail the spot check twice within a year are deemed to be unable to maintain the requirements of the 'Regulations'. The '2018 Interim Measures' abolished the 'within one year' time limit. According to the '2018 Interim MeasuresThe actual output of the previous year when the enterprise declares should not be less than 50% of the actual production capacity. At the same time, companies are also required to strictly control new lithium-ion battery (including supporting) projects that simply expand production capacity and have low technical levels. New construction, reconstruction and expansion projects that are really necessary to promote technological innovation, improve product quality, reduce production costs, etc., shall be demonstrated by the competent department of the industry in accordance with relevant regulations, and the demonstration can be implemented after passing the demonstration. According to industry insiders, the implementation of the New Deal has simplified the requirements for the production capacity and process technical parameters of the four major lithium-ion battery material companies, and further returned the technological leadership to the companies. At the same time, some backward production capacity that does not meet the technical standards will be gradually eliminated by the market. . The improvement of the quality inspection standards for upstream material manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries will undoubtedly also be of great significance to the improvement of the quality of related lithium battery raw materials, including new energy vehicle power batteries.
