Release Date:2024-12-29

The export of new energy vehicles needs to meet many technical standards. Different countries and regions have different requirements.

The United States needs to obtain DOT safety certification and EPA environmental certification. DOT certification focuses on vehicle safety performance, while EPA certification focuses on vehicle environmental performance.

The EU needs to obtain E-mark certification, covering the safety and compliance of components and vehicle systems.

Among African countries, Nigeria requires SONCAP certification and Tanzania requires PVOC certification, both of which are guarantees for the quality and safety of imported products.

Saudi Arabia requires SABER certification, which is an online certification system for its product safety program.

Chinese power batteries must comply with standards such as GB38031, GB/T 31484, and GB/T 31486.

EU power batteries must obtain E-mark certification and meet the material requirements of the RoHS directive.

North American power batteries are required to meet UL2580 standards, while India requires compliance with AIS038 standards.

In addition, there are strict requirements for the transportation of power batteries.

Power batteries are divided into two categories: UN3480 (lithium batteries transported separately) and UN3171 (battery driven vehicles or equipment), which require passing UN38.3 testing.

The special name for the transportation of pure electric vehicles is "battery powered vehicles", with a United Nations number of "UN 3171". Sea and land transportation is classified as "non restricted goods" and there are no packaging requirements.

The special name for hybrid vehicle transportation is "Flammable Liquid Driven Vehicle", with a UN number of "UN 3166". It is classified as "Non Restricted Goods" for sea and land transportation and has no packaging requirements.

The specialized name for the transportation of lithium-ion batteries is "Lithium ion Battery", the hazard category is "Class 9 Dangerous Goods", the United Nations number is "UN 3480", and the packaging category is "II".

According to relevant laws in China, exported power batteries should undergo performance evaluation and usage evaluation of dangerous goods packaging.
