China to Accelerate Development of Key Automotive Standards During the 15th Five-Year Plan Period

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) stated that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period (2026–2030), China will accelerate the development of key core standards for the automotive industry and strengthen the guiding role of standards in industrial development. Key priorities include advancing the formulation and revision of standards related to vehicle adaptability in extreme environments, cycle life of power batteries, energy consumption limits for new energy vehicles, and electromagnetic environmental adaptability. Additionally, efforts will be made to expedite the establishment of standardization systems in cutting-edge technological fields such as solid-state batteries and automotive artificial intelligence, as well as to promote the development and revision of standards for megawatt-level charging, intelligent chassis, and large-angle automotive seats. The newly reconstituted National Technical Committee on Automotive Standardization has been established in Beijing.
