White list, how does this piece of paper stir up power batteries in this pool of spring water?

At the beginning of 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Standard Conditions for the Automobile Power Battery Industry", and battery companies that meet the relevant requirements can enter the "Standard Conditions for the Automobile Power Battery Industry" enterprise directory.

However, in July 2016, the "Standard Conditions for the Automobile Power Battery Industry" company catalog(fourth batch) was not updated.

At the end of April, Dongyang, chairman of the China Automobile Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, announced at an industry conference that the "Interim Administrative Measures for the White List of Automobile Power Battery and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Industry"(hereinafter referred to as the White List) was formally implemented.

After nearly two years, the power battery industry welcomed the new regulations. White list, how does this piece of paper stir up power batteries in this pool of spring water?

Hydrogen fuel cells are the focus of attention

Judging from the name of the document, there is a very large change: Originally known as the "Standard Conditions for the Automobile Power Battery Industry," it is now the "Interim Administrative Measures for the White List of Automobile Power Battery and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Industry."

Hydrogen fuel cells have been raised to an unprecedented level, which is enough to show that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will face a larger market in the future, and this is also a global trend: According to the 2018 "Global Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Market" report, Since the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in 2013 to the end of 2017, a total of 6,475 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have been sold worldwide.

Indeed, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have the advantages of fast start-up acceleration, short hydrogen charging time and high range of endurance compared to pure electric vehicles equipped with lithium-powered batteries. Our country's original plan was also "starting from fuel trucks and gradually achieving the ultimate goal of hydrogen-powered vehicles." It should not be too late to highlight hydrogen fuel cells.

At present, China's hydrogen fuel cell automotive industry has a series of plans: In 2020, small-scale demonstration applications will be conducted in the field of public service vehicles in specific regions, and the production capacity of fuel cell systems will not be less than 1,000 units; In 2025, urban private vehicles and public service vehicles will be used in bulk, and the production capacity of fuel cell systems will not be less than 10,000 units. In 2030, the private passenger vehicles and large-scale commercial vehicles will be promoted on a large scale, and the production capacity of fuel cell systems will not be less than 100,000 units.

Emphasis on power cell code filing

Article 9 of the White List: Enterprises related to power batteries shall follow the relevant national standards for the record of product coding.

Power cell recovery is urgently needed, and the coding of products can be better for power cell recovery. In order to promote the establishment of a recycling system for automotive power batteries, on February 1, 2018, the China Aircraft Center has issued the "Notice on the Opening of a Car Power Battery Encoding Filing System."

No restrictions on production capacity

Article 8 of the "Standard Conditions": The annual production capacity of a lithium-ion power battery monomer enterprise shall not be less than 200 million watts, the annual production capacity of a metal hydride nickel power battery monomer enterprise shall not be less than 10 million watts, and the annual production capacity of a Super capacitor monomer enterprise shall not be less than 5 million watts. The annual production capacity of a system enterprise must not be less than 10,000 sets or 200 million watt-hours.

The white list has no restrictions on this.

Higher number of R&D personnel required

Article 14: Enterprises shall be equipped with corresponding personnel for research and development, and their proportion of the total number of employees in enterprises shall not be less than 10 or 100.

The corresponding data in the white list are: The company should establish a product design and development organization with corresponding research and development personnel, and its proportion of the total number of employees in the company shall not be less than 15 or the total number shall not be less than 150.

The white list requires an increase in the number of R&D personnel.

Improvement of quality certification standards

Article 18 of the "Normative Conditions": Enterprises should pass the TS16949 quality system certification; The white list requires companies to pass the IATF 16949 quality system certification. Compared with the TS 16949 quality certification system, the IATF 16949 quality system certification standard is higher.

For new energy vehicles, power batteries are very important and more difficult to develop. And in the process of the rapid development of the power battery industry, the industry enterprises have poor self-discipline, vicious competition, corporate profitability difficulties, and slow technological progress. The white list released this time is more targeted than the previous "standard conditions" and further promotes the technology upgrade of the battery industry.
