The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) approved and released the
mandatory national standard Safety requirements for lithium‑ion batteries for
electric motorcycles and electric light motorcycles, which will take effect on
July 1, 2027. SAMR, jointly with the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology (MIIT), updated the standard in response to rapid growth in China’s
electric motorcycle sector and wider use of lithium‑ion batteries amid rising
safety risks. The standard defines safety technical requirements and test
methods for lithium‑ion batteries used on electric motorcycles and electric
light motorcycles.
