Notice on the implementation of the second batch of white list application for automotive power battery and hydrogen fuel cell industry

All relevant units:

In March 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China promulgated and implemented the "Standardized Conditions for the Automotive Power Battery Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Standardized Conditions"). By the end of 2016, a total of 57 companies were included in the "Standardized Conditions" catalog. The implementation of the "Standardized Conditions" has been recognized and valued by the industry. Companies are very enthusiastic about organizing applications. Local governments, investment institutions, etc. regard it as an important assessment condition for project approval and capital support. Vehicle companies also regard it as an important reference indicator for incorporating it into the parts supporting system, basically forming an industry atmosphere for standardized development of the industry with remarkable results.

In order to strengthen the self-discipline of the automotive power battery and hydrogen fuel cell industry, promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and do a good job in the follow-up work of the "Normative Conditions", the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) and the China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance (Innovation Alliance) issued the "Interim Management Measures for the White List of the Automotive Power Battery and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Management Measures") in April 2018 (see Annex 1 of this Notice). In accordance with the requirements of the "Management Measures", the first batch of white list management work was carried out, and the selection and public announcement of the "Automotive Power Battery and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Industry White List (First Batch)" was officially completed on May 29, 2018, and a total of 21 companies entered the first batch of white lists.

In order to further improve the white list management of the power battery and hydrogen fuel cell industry and continuously strengthen industry self-discipline, the second batch of white list applications for the automotive power battery and hydrogen fuel cell industry are now officially launched.
