ASIACHEM: MIIT LIB Standards 2018 Released, What Are Differences Between 2015 Edition?

2019-01-25

Jan 25, 2019, MIIT revised and completed <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)>.

 

Before, in Aug 2015, MIIT released <LIB Industry Normality Conditions>. Up to Dec 2018, MIIT totally released a total of 3 batched enterprises lists which meet <LIB Industry Normality Conditions>.

 

Compare with <LIB Industry Normality Conditions> and <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)>, ASIACHEM research shows that, the biggest differences are:

 

Production sizes and technologies:

 

2015: <LIB Industry Normality Conditions>

 

Enterprises should have conditions as below: Registered and set-up in P. R. China according to laws, have independent corporate qualification; have LIB industry related products’ independent production, sales and service capacity; have high-tech enterprise qualification or provincial and above independent R&D institutions, technical centers; main products have technology invention patents.

 

Battery annual capacity should be no less than 100MWh.

Cathode material annual capacity should be no less than 2000t.

Anode material annual capacity should be no less than 2000t.

Separator annual capacity should be no less than 20Mm2.

Electrolyte annual capacity should be no less than 2000t, and electrolytic annual capacity should be no less than 500t.

When declare, actual output of last year should no less than 50% of actual capacity.

 

2019: <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)>

 

1) Registered and set-up in P. R. China according to laws, has independent corporate capacity;

2) Has independent production, sales and service ability of LIB industry related products;

3) R&D expenses are no less than 3% of main business income of the enterprise in that year, encourage enterprises obtain high-tech enterprise qualification or provincial and above R&D institutions and technology center;

4) Produced products have technical patents;

5) When declare, actual output of last year should no less than 50% of actual capacity.

(Please see <China LIB Monthly Report> (2019.1)


Besides, <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)> also covers contents on intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing, which <LIB Industry Normality Conditions> does not.

 

ASIACHEM research indicates that, although <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)> deletes the capacity requirements of LIB and its materials in <LIB Industry Normality Conditions>, and greatly simplifies technology parameters of LIB and its materials, it increases to key materials’ key indexes inspection capacity. Besides, <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)> comes up with requirements to R&D ability of enterprises.

 

ASIACHEM believes that, China LIB and materials exist phenomenon of insufficient high-end capacity and low-end overcapacity. Since 2018, many global LIB and materials tycoons actively distribute related capacities in China, and which make China LIB and materials enterprises face fiercer market competition. Release of <LIB Industry Normality Conditions (2018)>, gives technology initiative back to enterprises, and will make quality of China LIB and related materials further increase. Those enterprises which do not pay attention to R&D but only capacity layout will be eliminated.
