EVS | Session 1 | 23-25 Apr 2012

The representative of China, Mr. Sun Zhendong, gave a presentation on the process and status of Chinese standards for EVs.

OICA questioned how the Chinese government differentiates the mandatory standard and voluntary standard such as industrial standard. China representative answered that MIIT will decide whether it is mandatory or not. In general, the standard started with the “GB” means it will be enforced, start with “GB/T” means recommendation. “QC” means industrial standards, voluntary requirement in general. He also stressed that QC/T standards may also become mandate per MIIT decision. China is planning to revise more EV standards in the future. All GB and GB/T standards are available on SAC’s web-site, however, written in Chinese.
