Standards Formulation Launched for Electrochemical Storage,
Electrochemical Storage,

▍Vietnam MIC Certification

Circular 42/2016/TT-BTTTT stipulated that batteries installed in mobile phones, tablets and notebooks are not allowed to be exported to Vietnam unless  they are subjected to DoC certifctaion since Oct.1,2016. DoC will also be required to provide when applying Type Approval for end products (mobile phones, tablets and notebooks).

MIC released new Circular 04/2018/TT-BTTTT in May,2018 which stipulates that no more IEC 62133:2012 report issued by overseas accredited laboratory is accepted in July 1, 2018. Local test is necessity while applying for ADoC certificate.

▍Testing Standard

QCVN101：2016/BTTTT（refer to IEC 62133：2012)

▍PQIR

The Vietnamese government issued a new decree No. 74/2018 / ND-CP on May 15, 2018 to stipulate that two types of products imported into Vietnam are subject to PQIR (Product Quality Inspection Registration) application when being imported to Vietnam.

Based on this law, the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) of Vietnam issued the official document 2305/BTTTT-CVT on July 1, 2018, stipulating that the products under its control (including batteries) must be applied for PQIR when being imported into Vietnam. SDoC shall be submitted to complete the customs clearance process. The official date of entry into force of this regulation is August 10, 2018. PQIR is applicable to a single import to Vietnam, that is, every time an importer imports goods, he shall apply for PQIR (batch inspection) + SDoC.

However, for importers who are urgent to import goods without SDOC, VNTA will temporarily verify PQIR and facilitate customs clearance. But importers need to submit SDoC to VNTA to complete the entire customs clearance process within 15 working days after customs clearance. (VNTA will no longer issue the previous ADOC which is only applicable to Vietnam Local Manufacturers)

Looking up in the National Public Service Platform for Standards Information, we will find out a series of standard formulation and revision led by China Electric Power Research Institute about electrochemical storage have launched. It involves the revision of lithium-ion battery standard for electrochemical energy storage, the technical regulation for mobile electrochemical energy storage system, the management regulation for grid connection of user-side electrochemical energy storage system, and the emergency drill procedure for electrochemical energy storage power station. Various aspects are included such as battery for electrochemical system, grid connection technology, current converter technology, emergency treatment, and communication management technology.
As Double Carbon Policy drives new energy development, to ensure the smooth development of new energy technology has become the key. The development of standards thus springs up. Otherwise, the revision of series of electrochemical energy storage standards indicates that electrochemical energy storage is the focus of new energy development in the future, and the national new energy policy will lean to the field of electrochemical energy storage.
The standards drafting units include National Public Service Platform for Standards Information, State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Co., Ltd.- the Electric Power Research Institute, and Huawei Technologies Co., LTD. The involvement of Electric Power Research Institutes in the standard drafting indicates that the electrochemical energy storage will be the focus in the field of electric power application. This concerns about energy storage system, inverter and interconnection and other technologies..
Huawei’s participation in the development of the standard could pave the way for further development of its proposed digital power supply project, as well as Huawei’s future development in electric energy storage.
